      Culture of Blame and Fear

      Department head
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Totally remote workforce, so theoretically there's plenty of flexibilty

      Cons

      Working remote can make collaborating inefficient. The CEO is abusive, rude and immature and has created a culture of blame and fear. The good, smart and self-respecting people leave within a few months. No equity. Fake 'unlimited vacation' policy; No retirement program.

      Pros

      I don't have anything to post as I never worked for any project.

      Cons

      I got selected into this marketplace after lot of hardships, because their screening process is one of the very toughest to cross the line. After getting into the Marketplace, its been 6+ months and I haven't had any call from customers or response to my requests to any job postings at all.

      Toxic culture, no diversity, very toxic and naive management (plus CEO)

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Please note: A lot of positive reviews are fake reviews written by Toptal employees or Toptal community. - Remote culture - Possibility to work with experienced developers (depends on the team) - Some developers are helpful - Ambitious team and company goals

      Cons

      - Management, quite chaotic, they hire & fire people constantly which results in a lot of fluctation in the teams - Most of them have no or just very poor soft skills - Teams are restructured quite often - CEO Taso is sometimes quite naive (employees make jokes about him in private channels, there is no trust) - No support to improve your skills (they expect you do it all in your spare time) - There is a culture of blame and fear. If you make a mistake, people will shout at you. Please read the other low rated reviews to get an impression of how it is to work with the core team. For me, I would never recomment Toptal mainly because of the management and the CEO.
