It's a successful company but with a toxic culture
Pros
- Joining a company that's succeeding it's always a big perk. Anyone who joins would be attaching themselves to the "story of success at Toptal" - Remote work can be life-changing for many, especially to those outside of the US - There are some areas in the company where you can learn from people who are the best in their field - for example, Growth Marketing and Enterprise Sales
Cons
- Please google "Toptal The Information" to read an article about the drama between the founders. It's a dramatic story that signals how toxic can be to work with the CEO. - If you want even more details, including testimonies of a former employee, please google "jason calacanis toptal" and you will see the famous investor Jason Calacanis going for over an hour about Toptal and its CEO. - The company has high employee churn, especially for a remote company. Some of the people that left were not great, of course. However, plenty of good leaders left too. I believe over 80% of the people who report to the CEO have joined in the last 12 months.
