      Pros

      Everyone outside the CEO and CTO and incredibly friendly and talented.

      Cons

      Notice the other 1 star reviews for this company. Notice how many reviews a company of size ~40 people has. They have been asking people that have just started to leave 5 star reviews to combat the 1 star real reviews former employees have been leaving. This is not a rumor. This is confirmed. You will be publicly humiliated and yelled at in large meetings by the CEO/CTO They will ask you to start as soon as the interview is over. This is because their hiring practices are horrendous. They will likely fire you within a month if you're on the business side. Over the time I worked there at least 20-25 people had been fired. The actually number is probably much higher as it wasn't uncommon for someone to introduce themselves and be gone a week or two later. I reiterate, this is a 40 person company. This is NOT normal. When people are fired they disappear. There is no mention that they are no longer with the company. Any projects or deliverables that were coming from them disappear as well regardless of if it's a requirement for any other project. The roadmap for feature development and projects is unorganized and chaotic. Not in a start up way, but in an unorganized business way. They don't know where they're going and the future does not look promising. You will be pinged on vacations and weekends. If you are on PTO and something goes slightly wrong with a project/PR you were working on, you will be fired. Almost all the employees there are actively trying to leave. Almost all talk behind closed doors about how terrible it is. They do not value you as a human being. You're expected to be available any time of the day. You are expected to work 10+ hour days. If you have any issue in your life that prevents you from working 10+ hour days you are fired. While working a 10+ hour day you are not allowed to take longer than a half hour lunch (1 hour now if it's "culturally relevant"). You are also not allowed to leave your computer and take a 15 minute break as you're expected to be green on slack all hours of the day. Don't work here. Don't believe the fake reviews. It is not worth your mental health. This is not just a one off jaded review, look at all the other 1 star reviews and compare the amount of thumbs up to the fake 5 star reviews.

      Definition of toxic startup - worse than your worst startup nightmare

      Pros

      Some really amazing people outside of the executive leadership. Quite a good product that could go quite a long way if the company was led by anyone who knew what they were doing.

      Cons

      WOW - it is hard to capture the absolute insanity and toxicity of the topsort culture and experience. Suffice to say, every other awful glassdoor review is accurate. Your mental health will suffer. The CEO will make you question your sanity even though she has no experience whatsoever, is not a leader, has no empathy or management/leadership skills, and doesn't care at all about how people feel or have any empathy. The company has been around only a few years yet just you can see just from linkedin how many people have come and quickly left the company - the turnover has been insane! There is no way this company will go the distance unless a new leadership team is brought in, and even so, it seems too much damage has already been done. CEO continues to find ways to get glassdoor to remove the worst reviews, so the overall opinion of people at topsort about their experience is much worse than the average you see here, and most of the positive reviews have been demanded and are not accurate. Would never let a single person I like even a little bit work here.

      Pros

      None, really. The environment is chaotic, and unprofessional. The overly positive reviews are "planted" to balance the negative reviews.

      Cons

      Leadership is weak. Employees are not respected.
