Pros

1. Freedom to be wherever you want, 2. Lots of flexibility in regard to working time, 3. No micromanagement, lots of space to make your own decisions, 4. I actually learned a lot while working at Toptal, not just on the tech side, but also about business and operations.

Cons

1. Feel overworked more often that I'd like. Partly this is due to timezone differences and early\late meetings. 2. Expectation and goals are not always clear.

One of our management principles is that team leads should always be aware of how everyone on their team is doing and what they’re working on. Some team leads do this through regular one-on-one meetings, while others use a more personal, less structured approach. If you’re seeking dedicated one-on-one time with your manager and you're not getting it now, please don't hesitate to request it. Make it clear that you would benefit from more regular meetups and your manager will make it happen.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
