Pros

- remote but this is really a con because there is no work/life balance

Cons

- unorganized leadership - toxic work environment - no work/life balance and they are proud of it Honestly not sure how they have such a high rating. If I could give 0 stars, I would. For starters, always avoid a company where the VPs down talk the CEO frequently!!!! The CEO is arrogant, rude, and has no respect for his employees. Unfortunately, the stress of his inability to lead trickles down to upper management which creates a work environment so toxic, people fight to obtain positions they are not happy in. This company may claim they are in hypergrowth but they are not, they are rapidly failing in an industry they cannot compete in. Don't fall for the remote aspect, you will be overworked and underpaid. Don't fall for the unlimited PTO, you will be reprimanded for requesting days off. I asked for a mental health day and my manager told me no because I did not meet quota. In addition, international employees are the backbone of the company yet receive no real benefits. Do yourself a favor, for your sanity, and stay away.

Pros

Having been in the workplace for over 20 years this is a company that values their employees, gives them the tools for success and truly has developed a unique culture of integrating work and life. I have worked for Toptal over a year and have found that unlike any other company I have worked for they have excellent communication channels and truly embrace management/peer/subordinate feedback in both directions. I have great benefits, compensation, and room for growth that is encouraged. I have literally found my dream job and employer.

Cons

Toptal has high standards and expectations for their employees and they should not settle for anything less. It affects the morale of a team when one member is allowed to perform at a sub-standard level for extended periods of time.
