      Good pay, poor culture, weak C-level, miserable CEO - Senior Product Manager Toptal Employee Review

      Pros

      Cash pay is above market if you're outside US. They hire via B2B contract which helps partial tax evasion. Work-life is good if you're fan of discussing work instead of working. Certain percentage of smart and nice people hired in 2020-2021 still work here.

      Cons

      Toxic and unproductive culture which is essentially a reflection of CEO. He micromanages, only hires "yes-people" to C-level, stimulates quarterly 180 degree strategic changes and hates criticism. This is sadly ruining a formerly hyper-growth company. Horrible HR department too, tons of ex-colleagues laid of with zero feedback and compensation. Does not help our daily motivation to be honest.

      Pros

      Toptal has been my favorite place to work so far! • The flexibility of remote work is amazing. • I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic clients. • The internal team is supportive, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

      Cons

      Sometimes it can take a bit longer to find a new engagement if you’re looking for opportunities in Asian time zones. In my experience, Europe and the Americas tend to have more opportunities and faster matching.
