The growth and freedom to define the future of work that make Toptal an amazing place to work are a direct result of our CEO's philosophy, vision, and passion. Senior leadership has always been and will continue to be active in numerous aspects of the daily operations of the business. Toptal wouldn’t be the best career fit if you aren’t looking for that kind of involvement from the people who shaped the company from the ground up.

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.
