Pros

In the last year, I have seen a lot of positive changes at Toptal. The culture has shifted tremendously and the leadership has strengthened. Change can be hard, especially for people who have been at the company for a long time -- but it's exciting to see the positive momentum and morale shift, which in turn is creating new opportunities for all of us. Toptal is an organization of really smart people who are experts in their field. It's a pleasure to work with such professionals on a daily basis.

Cons

Remote work isn't for everyone. You must be a self-starter and driven to be able to succeed here and tackle all of the work ahead of us. The speed of communication is immediate, but also extremely impressive as decisions are made and work gets done fast.

Pros

It is a challenging environment with many exciting projects. Also, the salaries are good. Last, but not least, I do like the mission of the company, and both clients and freelancers are mostly happy with the quality of the service.

Cons

For those not used to work remotely, it might be challenging to enjoy the freedom of working from home without getting distracted.

Pros

- Remote work - Many colleagues are smart, driven, and good people - Base compensation and benefits are solid

Cons

- A horrendous culture that's built on fear by CEO - CEO is unprofessional and publicly berates employees for perceived mistakes - Any $ you make at Toptal will probably go towards the therapy you will need to tolerate working there
