      Pros

      Work Remotely and not have a commute

      Cons

      Terrible management, unprofessional process, people wasting your time. All of the employees seem more focused on their lifestyle than quality work or solid process. Do not come here expecting to pick up good habits

      We take a tremendous amount of pride in our company culture, and strongly emphasize hiring driven, disciplined people who can hold themselves accountable while working remotely. We do not tolerate anyone who is just looking for a “lifestyle company” and is not motivated by building a world-class remote organization. Given that, we always have an open door policy for feedback. If there’s anything specific you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to reach out to the People Operations Team at any time.

      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.

      Pros

      Met some good dedicated employees and freelance workers.

      Cons

      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.
