Pros

remote work, decent pay and benefits

Cons

The culture is weird and totally toxic. The senior management has been a revolving door. They are now hiring for a VP job where the previous 3 people in the same role only lasted 6 months. A lot of the blame goes on the immature and bizarre CEO who openly belittles and berates people. Not a good experience for lots of people. Look elsewhere and far away from Toptal!

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.
