Pros

Remote work. Task based work VS time based. Fair payment system, based on performance. Good support from management and awesome travel opportunities. When I suggest an idea, I am often amazed how quickly it gets implemented - managers really listen.

Cons

Paid USD only - be great to be paid in local currency if possible. The "unlimited vacations" policy recently changed - more guidance on vacations would be good - but this will likely happen, as more guidance is given. Sometimes there is too much micro management - but overall, the management are great to work with.

Pros

Met some good dedicated employees and freelance workers.

Cons

Lack of any real industry solutions or capabilities since 100% of delivery services are freelance contractors. Model has been successful as providing staff augmentation to clients, but all intellectual capital and outcomes are owned by the clients or the freelancer. Toptal is simply a staffing platform broker who marks up the freelance talent. Great if you need a plumber, but not if you're planning to build a bathroom.
