Pros

work from home is pretty great

Cons

i've never interacted with someone so off their rocker as the CEO. I was attracted to the business model, the remote environment and the pay was okay but the insane way this company is run I would think twice if I could go back.

The business model and remote environment that attracted you to Toptal is a direct result of our CEO’s vision and passion. Calling that drive “horrible” or “crazy” is doing him and his efforts a pretty big disservice, given the amazing, rapidly growing company we’ve built. The founders are and continue to be an active and vital part of the business, so Toptal might not be the best career fit if you don’t find that kind of involvement admirable. We do.

Pros

Toptal has been my favorite place to work so far! • The flexibility of remote work is amazing. • I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic clients. • The internal team is supportive, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a bit longer to find a new engagement if you’re looking for opportunities in Asian time zones. In my experience, Europe and the Americas tend to have more opportunities and faster matching.
