Rest of the time you’re free to organize you work as you wish. • Great engineering culture. • Well-defined processes for salary and career growth • SLT members are open about the state of the company’s business and report about it to employee regularly • Competitive salary • Remote work

Cons

It’s hard to find any.

Overpromise and underdeliver

Business Outlook

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Simply a horrible company. About half the people I started with were gone less than a year after joining. Many of my former co-workers don't even bother listing Toptal on their resume. For those considering Toptal as way to get into tech, don't do it! This is NOT a tech company. Most of your work will be boring repetitive tasks that do not build any useful skills. Toptal likes to fire people with no warning. It's an unprofessional way to do business and has left my team scrambling to figure out how to continue projects with no heads up. There's been a lot of complaints about the CEO. However, a lot of the exec team either condone his behavior or are too weak to stand up to him. The HR team is particularly slimy. They basically hit every negative HR stereotype you can think of.
