      Pros

      Remote work. That is all...

      Cons

      - The CEO is unprofessional and immature. - Poor management culture. - Unlimited vacation, technically, however you are encouraged not to take it at all and take 'working vacations' - work/life balance out the window.

      We work hard to create a high-performance culture that fosters innovation, creativity, and the kind of spark in people that allows for extraordinary outcomes. The purpose of our unlimited vacation policy is to make sure people can take the time they need to be operating at their best.

      Expect to be overworked

      Pros

      Remote work People are fired frequently enough that there’s room for promotions.

      Cons

      Must be attached to a device and expected available for work at all times. Expect people to take credit for your work as they talk to higher ups often so they get the credit and then point blame when something doesn’t go perfect. People straight out of college are put into high positions and they have 0 knowledge.

      All employees at Toptal undergo a rigorous vetting process before being hired into a role, regardless if it’s an internal or external hire. We hire for demonstrated skill. As well, with any company, members of the Toptal team know it's essential that they maintain a disciplined balance between work life and personal life. If anyone struggles in this area, we recommend they communicate with their manager to address what isn’t working.

      Pros

      work from home is pretty great

      Cons

      i've never interacted with someone so off their rocker as the CEO. I was attracted to the business model, the remote environment and the pay was okay but the insane way this company is run I would think twice if I could go back.

      The business model and remote environment that attracted you to Toptal is a direct result of our CEO’s vision and passion. Calling that drive “horrible” or “crazy” is doing him and his efforts a pretty big disservice, given the amazing, rapidly growing company we’ve built. The founders are and continue to be an active and vital part of the business, so Toptal might not be the best career fit if you don’t find that kind of involvement admirable. We do.
