Pros
Great people and teammates, ability to grow as a professional for some time
Cons
Working in fear, not knowing if you'll be laid off or not, creates a stressful and demotivating environment. Management continuously demands new initiatives from you, despite your salary being frozen for a year and a half. This makes it hard to find the motivation to work. Management seems intent on extracting every ounce of effort from you. At the same time, numerous all-hands meetings highlight the success stories of people like Taso and others from various islands. You find yourself thinking, "What the hell?" You're buried under a ton of work, missing initiatives, self-reviews, countless meetings, and a scope that constantly changes. Where is the happiness? There is no happiness at all at Toptal. It might be good for some, but I would never work there again.
