Pros

Tons of autonomy, they hire very smart people and let them figure out problems Lots of opportunities to move up or horizontally due to high growth Leadership does a fantastic job of pushing people and giving them the tools to be successful Toptal is fully remote and ahead of the curve when it comes to infrastructure and processes for a remote company

Cons

Mild growing pains- processes are changing to keep up with demand, this is very normal for a hyper-growth company

Pros

Job seekers: you should assume that many of these positive reviews are falsified or inaccurate. Read the negative ones carefully and ask direct questions in your interviews.

Cons

Shockingly bad people/HR practices... some of the worst I've seen in my career. - mediocre pay - no bonuses - no options - no professional development offered or funded - no equipment budget: you supply your own computer, desk, and any other gear out of your own pocket - no employee retreats, travel budget and so forth - no anniversaries or birthdays observed - no diversity & inclusion. The CEO is anti-diversity. - no confidential feedback: the People team will share anything you tell them with whomever they feel should see it - no fun! Employee happiness is tracked using a pulse NPS survey which is not anonymous. If you answer with anything lower than a positive score, you have to then take a meeting with the People team where instead of hearing your concerns, they push back against all of them and take nothing into account. Massive brain drain is happening now. Anyone smart is leaving for greener pastures and lots of other remote companies are offering much better benefits.
