      Pros

      Fully remote team, coworkers you can learn a lot from

      Cons

      Working at Toptal caused me to need therapy. If you want to work at Toptal, get ready to be treated like a disposable number at the whim of a dictator. Burn out central. Absolutely toxic executives, the CEO is a terrible human being who blames and steps over others without a second thought. Typical sociopathic corporate culture - not a progressive startup.

      Pros

      -Ability to work remote -Flexible work hours -Started part-time and then moved to full-time

      Cons

      -We used to have unlimited vacation and then it was taken away because too many people were taking advantage of it, then suddenly we were not allowed to use any days until we had worked at the company for a full year. -Was laid off unexpectantly and my position was terminated on the spot. No severance pay, terrible experience with HR afterwards

      There are a lot of inaccuracies here: - Toptal has always had and still has an unlimited vacation policy. This has never been taken away. We always encourage people to take time off if they need to recharge so they can always be operating at their highest levels. - Toptal has never laid people off. We’re a rapidly growing company, and the only reasons people are let go (aside from gross misconduct) is when the expectations of them are crystal clear, and it’s crystal clear that they’re not meeting them. - Toptal always honors contracts. If you did not receive severance pay, it’s because this was not a part of the contract you agreed to in the first place.

      Culture of Blame and Fear

      Pros

      Totally remote workforce, so theoretically there's plenty of flexibilty

      Cons

      Working remote can make collaborating inefficient. The CEO is abusive, rude and immature and has created a culture of blame and fear. The good, smart and self-respecting people leave within a few months. No equity. Fake 'unlimited vacation' policy; No retirement program.
