      Pros

      My only pro is that I was able to work remotely.

      Cons

      You have to use your own laptop, the company does not provide one. So, if you're like me and have always used company-provided laptops, you have to go and purchase one. Total lack of work-life balance. There is not enough space for me to write out every con I experienced while working here. Oh, also, because it's a "global company", you do not get holidays off. You have to use your PTO to 'request' a holiday off, and if there aren't enough employees to work, you have to work the holiday. Absolute nonsense.

      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.
