Pros

Location flexibility was great. As long as I had a good internet connection, I could work. Also, the online work environment was productive, growth-giving, and fun.

Cons

I wasn't given time off when my father died and I had my first child w/in a couple of weeks, but this seems to be a trend for US companies.

Toptal Response

Toptal has always and will always support employees taking time off for family bereavement or maternity/paternity leave. As a cultural principle, Leaders across the organization are trained that they may encourage time off if there is need or circumstance. If you ever feel like this is not the case at Toptal, we recommend you reach out to the People Operations team immediately.

Pros

I am fairly new to the company (working here for almost 5 months) but I can see that Toptal values their employees and provides them with enough opportunities both for personal and business development. Toptal sets high expectations but also gives back to you and their whole community in the same manner. I feel that my feedback here is always heard and appreciated, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my work, team, and Toptal as an employer!

Cons

At the moment, I don't have any.
