      Toxic leadership and high turnover make it a sinking ship

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
