Pros

- I joined 3 years ago and they offered a really good salary, it's above the EU average, and that's the reason why many people stayed. - International work environment, you can find a colleague from any country

Cons

- They fired 75% of the core team in October 2024, and it all handled very badly, your accounts were immediately deleted and you're no one in a second. Now they're calling back some people to the company. - The CEO is a very toxic person, doesn't hesitate to insult colleagues in front of others - No salary increase for the 3 years I've been in the company - The management is doing nothing, they became lazy over the years and found their way to stay in the company, they don't help the ICs grow in the role

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.
