Pros

Work Remotely and not have a commute

Cons

Terrible management, unprofessional process, people wasting your time. All of the employees seem more focused on their lifestyle than quality work or solid process. Do not come here expecting to pick up good habits

We take a tremendous amount of pride in our company culture, and strongly emphasize hiring driven, disciplined people who can hold themselves accountable while working remotely. We do not tolerate anyone who is just looking for a “lifestyle company” and is not motivated by building a world-class remote organization. Given that, we always have an open door policy for feedback. If there’s anything specific you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to reach out to the People Operations Team at any time.

Pros

None. Avoid. This is a sinking ship.

Cons

As others have mentioned, the leadership of Toptal is very poor. Constant changes of direction, unstable leaders, a product with tons of competition. They also have extremely high turnover. Even if you get a job here, you'll be looking again in under a year.
