Toptal reviews

CEO CEO CEO CEO CEO and I can't stress this enough, CEO. Second up, literally everything the CEO has enacted. There are some talented people who work at this company. They keep their heads down and try to deliver as best they can. They generally get laid off or fired because they try and follow some semblance of product development process as opposed to enacting whatever the whim of Taso is that day. The rest are sycophants who have drunk the company kool-aid that they're the top 1%. I don't know what "Top 1% they're referring to. Maybe the top 1% of people desperate enough to apply for a full time job at this place, maybe, but it can't be the top 1% of talent. Taso himself is a bottom-of-the-barrel CEO who has no business running a company, and he's hired bottom-of-the-barrel yes-men who can't get hired at a Radio Shack, never mind a reputable place of employment. Google this guy's name, take a look at what he's said and done, and then decide if you want to work here. Just avoid it. The pittance they'll pay you and the paltry benefits aren't worth the weeks, maybe months, probably not years of trauma you'll have to endure. Unemployment is probably a better bet.

Flexible working hours? Be prepared to work 15h a day and receive messages during the night while in don’t disturb mode and had previously set working hours. Unlimited PTO what a joke. You are lucky if you get any days of vacation ever approved. Week of Christmas with low demand for work you have to be there and attend meetings. Working-life balance no comments but no worries there are some apps you can download and use for your mental health. No career path at all. Looks like a family company, if you are friends of the executives you are congrats and promoted every time doesn’t matter what the review team says. HR/"People" Team useless Diversity happens if you are from a poor country that you will be happy enough with your salary thanks to the currency conversion since payment is in US dollars only. By the way, the payment is through their own wallet system and you have to pay a fee to transfer it to your bank account. That way they don’t have to deal with local taxes. Or maybe not tax at all? The official documents have a random address which is only a parking lot.
