Pros

I have been reading all of the reviews lately and it is clearly the work of a few exited disgruntled employees. And it is a little too obvious as well. Toptal is not for everyone and we have grown and scaled a lot over the past 4 years, but especially in the past 12 months. Change is hard, people are not used to being held accountable or confronted when work is not being done and deadlines missed. As we grow, it is time for some tenured employees to leave. That is the cost of doing business in a tech start-up. But if you want to be part of something disruptive, industry-changing and work with smart people from all over the world, join us. We are a direct culture and this is not for everyone, but we do like to challenge each other and uncover problems. If you want to work from home, your favorite vacation spot and work with like-minded people, we welcome you.

Cons

There is a lot to do and we work hard. Yes, our CEO can be direct and in your face but he wants to push everyone to do their best and make Toptal great.

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.
