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.
Toptal has been my favorite place to work so far!
• The flexibility of remote work is amazing.
• I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic clients.
• The internal team is supportive, talented, and a pleasure to work with.
Svantaggi
Sometimes it can take a bit longer to find a new engagement if you’re looking for opportunities in Asian time zones. In my experience, Europe and the Americas tend to have more opportunities and faster matching.

Vantaggi
Met some good dedicated employees and freelance workers.
Svantaggi
Lack of any real industry solutions or capabilities since 100% of delivery services are freelance contractors. Model has been successful as providing staff augmentation to clients, but all intellectual capital and outcomes are owned by the clients or the freelancer. Toptal is simply a staffing platform broker who marks up the freelance talent. Great if you need a plumber, but not if you're planning to build a bathroom.
