Pros

Having been in the workplace for over 20 years this is a company that values their employees, gives them the tools for success and truly has developed a unique culture of integrating work and life. I have worked for Toptal over a year and have found that unlike any other company I have worked for they have excellent communication channels and truly embrace management/peer/subordinate feedback in both directions. I have great benefits, compensation, and room for growth that is encouraged. I have literally found my dream job and employer.

Cons

Toptal has high standards and expectations for their employees and they should not settle for anything less. It affects the morale of a team when one member is allowed to perform at a sub-standard level for extended periods of time.

Pros

I have been working for Toptal for a few months now and I am beyond happy with my choice to join Toptal. For those who appreciate their time and want to retain freedom and flexibility, working for Toptal is the way to do so. I, in particular, am more motivated to dedicate 110% of myself to work when I have ability to run my errands in the middle of the day or just take a walk or hit the gym in between my interviews.

Cons

Toptal might be difficult for those who are not great in self-discipline and with regular office mindset, in terms that you get work done once supervised and limited by strict deadlines. In Toptal, supervision is minimal and you are responsible for organizing and executing daily tasks.

Thank you for this positive and candid review. Working remotely at a high level isn't a fit for everyone because it demands a lot: self-discipline, focus, time management skills, and internal drive. On the other hand, working remotely at Toptal gives everyone on our team the autonomy to define and execute on their own terms, in their own time, and from literally anywhere. We're thrilled to hear that it's working so well for you.
