Pros

There are a lot of things that make working at Toptal great, but the top three are: 1. Leadership focus on values isn't just talk. It drives day-to-day operations. 2. The company hires really, really smart people, so which motivates me to raise the bar for myself, every day. 3. I can work from anywhere, which is amazing

Cons

Working remotely isn't for everyone; good communication takes more work and commitment. If you're not a good communicator already, this might not be the place for you.

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.
