Pros

Please note: A lot of positive reviews are fake reviews written by Toptal employees or Toptal community. - Remote culture - Possibility to work with experienced developers (depends on the team) - Some developers are helpful - Ambitious team and company goals

Cons

- Management, quite chaotic, they hire & fire people constantly which results in a lot of fluctation in the teams - Most of them have no or just very poor soft skills - Teams are restructured quite often - CEO Taso is sometimes quite naive (employees make jokes about him in private channels, there is no trust) - No support to improve your skills (they expect you do it all in your spare time) - There is a culture of blame and fear. If you make a mistake, people will shout at you. Please read the other low rated reviews to get an impression of how it is to work with the core team. For me, I would never recomment Toptal mainly because of the management and the CEO.

Pros

They talk a great game; some of your colleagues will be smart

Cons

Iffy practices around hiring; they gather work samples in interviewing process with no intention of hiring; they then use the candidate solutions as free work to progress projects. Old guard white guy culture
