Pros

The company was a great place to work prior to the layoff trend. At this time, I do not have any pros other than it being in a remote setting and flexible working hours, but all other administration employees must handle themselves.

Cons

The company lost all interest in the happiness of its employees and in providing incentives for a quality work environment. Every few months, mass layoffs occurred, benefits were cut, and severance pay to individuals who had been working for close to a decade was reduced to almost nothing. Literally.

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.
