Pros

Across the board the company's core is made up of serious professionals who strive to innovate and improve the business. This is a culture of high standards, autonomy, and empowerment to go out and execute. Honesty is essential, and there is no sugar coating at Toptal. We work smart, take risks, and have a lot of fun collaborating with each other.

Cons

There are inherent challenges with remote work. Loneliness and isolation are two of the biggest. You can sometimes feel overlooked, and gratitude and compliments feel less personal in a chat instead of hearing someones voice or getting a real pat on the back. Less often but still a challenge in the remote world are that response times can be slower and collaboration can be challenging to fit around different schedules and time zones.

Pros

Fully remote work means you are entrusted to handle your work schedule as you see fit. Can work from home or while traveling, and are encouraged to make the most of this. Working with team members located all over the world is an awesome learning experience, and promotes a global perspective in everyday life. Team members are by necessity adept at communication. Decent pay.

Cons

Expectations can pile up and become unreasonable. Hours can become very long to keep up. It's important to be able to step away from your computer once in a while. As the company grows, it seems it must give up some of the "small company" feel and culture.
