Pros

The team was excellent. The developers and PMs were highly skilled, open to discussion, and a pleasure to work with — it was easy to collaborate with engineers on ideas like animations or other improvements, and they were always happy to bring them to life. Overall, the team was top-notch, and I feel lucky to have worked with such professionals.

Cons

The company is not design-driven, which makes it challenging for designers to push their ideas and influence decisions made by managers and stakeholders.

Pros

None. Avoid. This is a sinking ship.

Cons

As others have mentioned, the leadership of Toptal is very poor. Constant changes of direction, unstable leaders, a product with tons of competition. They also have extremely high turnover. Even if you get a job here, you'll be looking again in under a year.
