      Pros

      work from home is pretty great

      Cons

      i've never interacted with someone so off their rocker as the CEO. I was attracted to the business model, the remote environment and the pay was okay but the insane way this company is run I would think twice if I could go back.

      The business model and remote environment that attracted you to Toptal is a direct result of our CEO’s vision and passion. Calling that drive “horrible” or “crazy” is doing him and his efforts a pretty big disservice, given the amazing, rapidly growing company we’ve built. The founders are and continue to be an active and vital part of the business, so Toptal might not be the best career fit if you don’t find that kind of involvement admirable. We do.

      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.
