      Toptal is the company that I was always looking for!

      Pros

      At Toptal you really feel like you are part of the next big thing. You get to work with people from different cultures all over the world. Everyone is extremely smart, self-motivated and strive for excellence. You really feel like your individual work is contributing to the mission. Leadership is down-to-earth, understanding and supportive. Toptal is a transparent environment where you are encouraged to bring up possible improvements. You are not chained to a desk. You see your co-workers being able to spend time with their kids, outdoor activities on the weekends and balance their lives

      Cons

      I am disappointed by the few negative reviews I see here. Toptal's culture is built for and by high performers. There is a misconception that a remote job means, "easy". If you love to roll up your sleeves and be part of building something that has never been built before, then this is a place for you. If you prefer the "everything handled for you" corporate environment, then this company would not be a fit.

      Loosing its appeal day by day

      Pros

      • Interesting problems can be tackled, in case you get the resources to do so. • Ability to work 100% remotely from almost anywhere in the world. • Travel perks for some roles. • Flexible schedule. • Solid compensation.

      Cons

      • CEO is well known to be disrespectful, verbally aggressive, and diminishing of the success of teams and people he does not personally like. • Critique is dismissed on all levels and it feels more like a military camp than a company of educated and experienced adults enjoying constructive discussion to come up with the best solutions. • A ridiculous level of micromanagement is strongly encouraged by the CEO/top brass and practiced throughout the company. • Needed resources to solve various issues and advance the teams productivity are extremely hard to get. • Strong preference for robots/task executors, not people, creativity and meaningful contributions. • Uninspiring company-wide meetings running overtime for the sake of platitudes. • Massive lack of authentic leadership and lots of hypocrisy. • Lack of direction. • Tons of politics.

      Pros

      Remote work is the only benefit I can come up with at this point

      Cons

      Lack of transparency Poor management Lack of systematic and meaningful decision making Nobody cares about people that work there or talent The culture is not really implemented as it is propagated (they say one thing, do another in practice)
