Pros

Can't think of a pro

Cons

Extremely toxic culture. The negative reviews are NOT subjective for this organization, believe them because they are completely accurate.

Pros

- Fully remote for all roles (company has no offices) - Generally good to above market base pay - Friendly co-workers

Cons

- Frequent layoffs with little to no clear rationale. Many teams have lost over half their headcount over the last 2-3 quarters. - Benefits including healthcare and 401K match have gone away, and salaries have been frozen for over a year - Most of senior sales leadership has quit / resigned over past 6 months, current morale is rock bottom - Culture of fear well established from the top down - Absolutely no vision of the future. Toptal hit it big during the pandemic when customers were craving remote tech talent. Since then, there has been zero innovation and Toptal has become just another staffing company.

Avoid this place — too unstable

Pros

When times are good, it’s good. But times aren’t good anymore

Cons

Anyone can get cut with little reasons, in fact, I was let go without any prior conversation about performance. Disappointing; I wasn’t given any opportunity to improve. Times are so bad there that they’ve reduced benefits and completely cut the 401k plan. Now’s not a time to join an unstable company like this. I don’t even know how they plan to work their way out of this, as the market is too crowded with other good alternatives for talent.
