Pros

Since new leadership has been infused at Toptal, there has been a remarkable difference in culture, alignment, and energy that stems from the top. This is a truly global company with more than half the company coming from outside the US. Although it is global and a completely remote team, Toptal maintains a tight culture of engaged, driven people that want to do great things and fuel growth. The fully distributed model allows people to work from anywhere, and it works because team members get their stuff done and we all hold each other accountable. As long as you do your work and do the right thing, you have the freedom to also accomplish your personal goals and a work/life balance that is much harder to achieve with a typical in-office job. It is incredible to be part of a hyper growth company that is changing the future of work. In only a few years, remote work and the freelance economy will be even more prominent, and Toptal will be at the forefront of this movement.

Cons

If you are in need of social interaction 'outside of the office' or if you're not a self-motivated/self-starter, then the fully remote work environment might not be for you.

Pros

Every day provides me opportunities to work with new people on new projects or initiatives. I'm able to contribute across the organization on a variety of projects which have broadened my knowledge and skills for the business. The people are THE BEST part about Toptal - 100's of people around the world that are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and friendly. Lifelong friends are made at Toptal.

Cons

-The CEO is getting better but he has an elitist attitude. -The benefits/perks need to be within the industry (and general workplace) benchmark. -Recognition is hard to come by These are simple things that could be remedied quickly.
