      Pros

      If you're looking to make a global impact with a tight-knit distributed team, Toptal is the perfect place to do so. Visionary leadership, a flat organizational structure, explosive growth, and a results driven work ethic– these are just some of the qualities that stand out.

      Cons

      No cons from my perspective, but remote working is not for everyone. For example– near perfect punctuality is expected a half-dozen times a day (as opposed to showing up between 9am-11am once like you might expect in a physical office).

      Pros

      Working in Toptal changed my life completely. The company is amazing and very well organized. Having an amazing boss, flexible hours, working from wherever I want are just a few pros that I'd like to list here. Since I joined Toptal a year and nine months ago I've traveled more than ever, discovered so many things about myself I didn't know and expanded my knowledge in the field of recruiting.

      Cons

      After almost 2 years of experience here at Toptal I have no cons to list whatsoever.

      Challenging, although fulfilling

      Pros

      1. Freedom to be wherever you want, 2. Lots of flexibility in regard to working time, 3. No micromanagement, lots of space to make your own decisions, 4. I actually learned a lot while working at Toptal, not just on the tech side, but also about business and operations.

      Cons

      1. Feel overworked more often that I'd like. Partly this is due to timezone differences and early\late meetings. 2. Expectation and goals are not always clear.

      One of our management principles is that team leads should always be aware of how everyone on their team is doing and what they’re working on. Some team leads do this through regular one-on-one meetings, while others use a more personal, less structured approach. If you’re seeking dedicated one-on-one time with your manager and you're not getting it now, please don't hesitate to request it. Make it clear that you would benefit from more regular meetups and your manager will make it happen.
