Pros

Remote - that is all

Cons

Flexible working hours? Be prepared to work 15h a day and receive messages during the night while in don’t disturb mode and had previously set working hours. Unlimited PTO what a joke. You are lucky if you get any days of vacation ever approved. Week of Christmas with low demand for work you have to be there and attend meetings. Working-life balance no comments but no worries there are some apps you can download and use for your mental health. No career path at all. Looks like a family company, if you are friends of the executives you are congrats and promoted every time doesn’t matter what the review team says. HR/"People" Team useless Diversity happens if you are from a poor country that you will be happy enough with your salary thanks to the currency conversion since payment is in US dollars only. By the way, the payment is through their own wallet system and you have to pay a fee to transfer it to your bank account. That way they don’t have to deal with local taxes. Or maybe not tax at all? The official documents have a random address which is only a parking lot.

Pros

Remote work. Task based work VS time based. Fair payment system, based on performance. Good support from management and awesome travel opportunities. When I suggest an idea, I am often amazed how quickly it gets implemented - managers really listen.

Cons

Paid USD only - be great to be paid in local currency if possible. The "unlimited vacations" policy recently changed - more guidance on vacations would be good - but this will likely happen, as more guidance is given. Sometimes there is too much micro management - but overall, the management are great to work with.

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
