      Pros

      - The people that work there are generally smart and nice people - Remote work is a huge benefit

      Cons

      Where to start.... - Lots of turnover in executive ranks. - No salaries increases for the past 2 1/2 years, including no salary adjustments for promotions and no cost of living increases. - Continuous layoffs; cut another 30-40% of employees in October - CEO has a terrible management style (aggressive and confrontational) and is very emotional - you can be in favor and then lose favor quickly, and then you're gone. - No coherent growth strategy - CEO has new ideas for business lines every month and thinks it takes a few months to build a completely new product.

      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.
