Pros

There's some nice and caring people at the company especially at the more junior levels. Remote work can be great if you are able to adjust to less regular interactions. Some groups are more shielded from the larger issues at the company.

Cons

Geez where to even begin...the co-founders are currently suing each other, each one accusing the other of fraud and generally being terrible human beings. Turnover is extremely high. If you're a current employee look at the terminated people list on the company directory. You'll see just how many people leave within a year of starting here. For those considering joining Toptal listen to the recent This Week in Startups podcast on Toptal. If the issues mentioned there about the company don't bother you then everyday problems like micromanagement, boring tasks, and unnecessary long hours likely won't worry you either. Many of the recent positive reviews are from HR or managers looking to boost Toptal's rating and applications.

Pros

- From day one, you start collaborating with smart people that help you no matter what. - The remote environment is flexible and offers a great work-life balance. As everyone is remote, you never feel left behind, and as we have people working from multiple places, you are basically never alone. You can work from anywhere – I've spent 4 months traveling abroad without issues. - Managers are smart and transparent. - You can move from one team to another, depending on your interests and personal goals. - You have the freedom to come up with new stuff and move ideas forward. New initiatives always bring technical challenges and you feel energized to learn more. - During off-sites, you get the opportunity to get to know great people and work from amazing places. - Compensation is fair and you feel valued.

Cons

- Depending on your role, you might feel overwhelmed by the number of meetings every now and then, which is perfectly understandable.
