Pros

I'm working here for more than 2 years. So far the pros are: - Flexibility. Just get your work done and be on the daily. Working hours doesn't matter; - Product company. Experiment! (You will less likely get an order what to do and how to do, you should instead think and argue for the way how You see things should be done); - Proactiveness always praised.

Cons

After roses and candy stage is done, you may get a bit skeptical about things going on (like in every other place), but due to flexibility you can always travel while working or take couple of days off to rethink your approach.

Pros

Time. Living in a country where it takes at least a couple of hours to commute to and from work, Toptal has provided me with time that I don't need to spend on commuting at all. I can now spend it having quality time with my family, going for a leisurely ride on my bike, hanging out with friends, reading a book, or watching cat videos online.

Cons

Loneliness. It does get lonely at times not having your officemates physically present. Thankfully, Toptal sponsors co-working days.

Pros

- There is an awesome project called BootCamp that helps newcomers step-by-step join in the project and understand the code base. - Toptal has a unique culture of knowledge sharing. If you have crazy ideas or interesting things want to share, just raise your voice! People are always eager to hear that. In addition, peer code review, pair programming, and feature demo are common day-to-day activities at Toptal though 100% of the team are working remotely, it's made by leveraging communication tools such as Zoom, ScreenHero, etc. We always stay connected! - Discretionary time off is another advantage when working at Toptal, as you can organize your time to be always productive and performant.

Cons

Working remotely with flexible time means that you need to manage yourself very well to get rid of feeling lonely and to always perform 100%.
