Pros

Toptal is an amazing company that offers its developers to work with great clients and to have the flexibility of working hours, location, time off... Also, Toptal gives you many opportunities to develop and grow yourself. They support speakers, start-ups, open source, digital nomads, women in technology and so many other things. I am a self-taught developer who managed to go from zero to Toptal in only two years and from Toptal developer to Director of Engineering in one year, thanks to people who recognized my talent and put it in good use.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons for Toptal.

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.
