Layoffs and Benefits

Recommend

Pros

The company was a great place to work prior to the layoff trend. At this time, I do not have any pros other than it being in a remote setting and flexible working hours, but all other administration employees must handle themselves.

Cons

The company lost all interest in the happiness of its employees and in providing incentives for a quality work environment. Every few months, mass layoffs occurred, benefits were cut, and severance pay to individuals who had been working for close to a decade was reduced to almost nothing. Literally.

Pros

People at Toptal are great to work with and extremely sharp. I get why it’s hard to get in.

Cons

The CEO and decisions made are a one man show and he doesn’t really listen to feedback so the top level management culture is not so good

Pros

- There’s good talent and people within teams - Perks are usually appealing

Cons

- Mass layoffs for the last two years - Toxic leadership, especially from the CEO and People team - Poor planning for teams and functioning - Terrible marketing of products. Products are built and rushed to completion, with poor rollout and marketing strategies. - CEO is toxic and his poor leadership qualities run down management - Stakeholders are extremely controlling and tough to manage - Layoffs are handled insensitively and badly
