Pros

Remote work. That is all...

Cons

- The CEO is unprofessional and immature. - Poor management culture. - Unlimited vacation, technically, however you are encouraged not to take it at all and take 'working vacations' - work/life balance out the window.

We work hard to create a high-performance culture that fosters innovation, creativity, and the kind of spark in people that allows for extraordinary outcomes. The purpose of our unlimited vacation policy is to make sure people can take the time they need to be operating at their best.

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.
