Pros

Remote work, freedom to work from anywhere, some really smart and great people there.

Cons

It's a revolving door. Especially management positions. People are getting hired and fired in a 2-3 month tick-tock pattern. One of the founders is borderline abusive. No guidance or vision from the top. There is an us vs. them thinking of old vs. new employees. Very toxic environment overall.

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.
