Toptal reviews

I am disappointed by the few negative reviews I see here. Toptal's culture is built for and by high performers. There is a misconception that a remote job means, "easy". If you love to roll up your sleeves and be part of building something that has never been built before, then this is a place for you. If you prefer the "everything handled for you" corporate environment, then this company would not be a fit.

• CEO is well known to be disrespectful, verbally aggressive, and diminishing of the success of teams and people he does not personally like. • Critique is dismissed on all levels and it feels more like a military camp than a company of educated and experienced adults enjoying constructive discussion to come up with the best solutions. • A ridiculous level of micromanagement is strongly encouraged by the CEO/top brass and practiced throughout the company. • Needed resources to solve various issues and advance the teams productivity are extremely hard to get. • Strong preference for robots/task executors, not people, creativity and meaningful contributions. • Uninspiring company-wide meetings running overtime for the sake of platitudes. • Massive lack of authentic leadership and lots of hypocrisy. • Lack of direction. • Tons of politics.
