Pros

Working fully remotely. A lot of flexibility in work. Working 20 hours. The job search system is extremely streamlined. Great community.

Cons

Low hourly rates: They make a big deal about signing up, with a very complicated set of tests. This gives expectations of very high payout. The opposite is true. - The system sort of encourages to accept lower rates than you'd get elsewhere. - The rate system is non-transparent; it is unclear how big a cut does Toptal take and they are very secretive about it. I accidentally found out this can be very high compared to other recruiters.

Pros

Fair company Flexible: remote environment, no permission required to travel, until you get your job done Innovative: focusing on staying on top of the latest technologies, lot of automated system Demanding: Keeping employees busy and challenging them to be the "best" version of themselves.

Cons

Demanding company, always requires the highest standard, which can be overwhelming.
