Pros
I wasn’t going to bother writing a review but couldn’t stand by as Toptal tries to yet again inflate its rating after another series of honest reviews. Honestly there’s very little that’s a pro of working here. Every month we get a nice group of new people but most leave pretty quickly.
Cons
Toptal has convinced itself that if you say you’re an amazing company enough times it will be true. This place is far from an elite tech company. It’s not actually even a tech company. Did you ever dream of working at any of the hundreds of temp agencies that already exist? Then this place is for you. The turnover here is atrocious. In the 2 years I’ve been here almost every executive position has turnovered 2-3 times. The HR team is the CEO’s personal secret police. No negative feedback is allowed. Every few months when the company ratings drop a round of requests go out to add positive reviews. We’re on year 3 of this endless cycle. People leaving are threatened to stay quiet. Several execs don’t leave bother to list Toptal on their profile because they hated it here so much. I could go on but just look at all the detailed negative reviews and compare them with the generic positive ones. This isn’t a company you want to join.
