Pros

Great team culture for remote company. Ability to work remote. Good training. Nice and supportive managers (for the most part)

Cons

Pay isn't great. The company is pretty stingy with their commission percentage. They are even stingy with the stipend for the tech stack they provide. Considering they have very little to no overhead you would think it would be the opposite. CEO is a narcissist. They have company wide meetings and half of the company dreads them because they have to hear him speak rudely to everyone. Folks internally will ask him questions at meetings and he'll either ignore them or give short and rude responses if it's a question her doesn't like. Recently did pretty big layoffs because they over hired. Overall, I would not recommend working here.

Pros

At Toptal you really feel like you are part of the next big thing. You get to work with people from different cultures all over the world. Everyone is extremely smart, self-motivated and strive for excellence. You really feel like your individual work is contributing to the mission. Leadership is down-to-earth, understanding and supportive. Toptal is a transparent environment where you are encouraged to bring up possible improvements. You are not chained to a desk. You see your co-workers being able to spend time with their kids, outdoor activities on the weekends and balance their lives

Cons

I am disappointed by the few negative reviews I see here. Toptal's culture is built for and by high performers. There is a misconception that a remote job means, "easy". If you love to roll up your sleeves and be part of building something that has never been built before, then this is a place for you. If you prefer the "everything handled for you" corporate environment, then this company would not be a fit.
