      Pros

      Remote work People are fired frequently enough that there’s room for promotions.

      Cons

      Must be attached to a device and expected available for work at all times. Expect people to take credit for your work as they talk to higher ups often so they get the credit and then point blame when something doesn’t go perfect. People straight out of college are put into high positions and they have 0 knowledge.

      All employees at Toptal undergo a rigorous vetting process before being hired into a role, regardless if it’s an internal or external hire. We hire for demonstrated skill. As well, with any company, members of the Toptal team know it's essential that they maintain a disciplined balance between work life and personal life. If anyone struggles in this area, we recommend they communicate with their manager to address what isn’t working.

      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.
