Pros

Very good pay especially for people outside the US. Very Professional. They keep promises by giving the developer his salary even if the client walked away. They help developers decide their salary and sometimes advise them to increase it ! (although this will decrease their profit) They try to host physical meetups all around the world. Their online community and recruiters are very helpful.

Cons

Most of the work is web & mobile development using specific techs, but this is the nature of the market ....

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.
