Pros

- Used to be a great company - Incredible talent with core team members, but unfortunately they were laid off

Cons

- CEO, Taso, does not trust his leaders and prefers to be ill informed making knee jerk decisions with far reaching consequences that negatively impact the customer experience - CEO does not understand (nor seeks to understand) how to properly mature and scale a company. He continually looks for “silver bullet” solutions based on minimal research, which explains such a high turnover with the C-level team - CEO needs to be held accountable by a Board of Directors. His behaviors and “leadership” is appalling, and he has proven he’s unable to sustain a long-term vision for growth.

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.
