I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Toast Inc (Bengaluru) in Apr 2026
Interview
The engineering manager who had joined in was just all about himself, I wont say discussion was overall bad but I would say average , general perception in people who are coming from indian startups are just sacling is the biggest problem other problems are not challenging they feel which is where I had a little debate on why this problem was not challenging as per the interviewer. Coming from a single dimension and expecting answers as per you is the main problem which is see in most of the interviewers , interviewers need to have a little broader perspective. Apart from that if somebody has invested 1-2 hr of time giving 2 rounds of interview the least you can provide is honest feedback rather than lame AI generated general rejection email because in my mind i was able to answer all the questions but still got rejected and now I will be in a loop for a week or so thinking what did I say wrong what I should improve so humble request please share the detailed feedback to rejected candidate's it would help them to prepare better and work on their weakness.
Other Engineering Manager interview reviews for Toast Inc
Very professional, heavy on behavioral questions with system design and past project also a part. The system design was relevant to the business and not a 'gotcha' containing an overly specialized scenario requiring specialized tools/algorithms/architecture to solve efficiently.
