Pros

freedom to work from anywhere

Cons

horrible communication between and among teams, putting out fires right and left, decisions made at the top aren't explained, very hard to forecast workload for the day or week which undercuts the benefits of working remotely and thinking you will therefore have more control over your schedule.

Rapid-fire problem-solving and variable workloads are positives for anyone who is excited about building an innovative company. Everyone who is successful at Toptal loves rolling up their sleeves to solve interesting problems and get the job done. The opportunity and freedom to do it from anywhere is a bonus.

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.
