Pros

Things move fast. People in the team are willing to collaborate. They are open to suggestions.

Cons

The initial job offer is not quite the same as the actual job, each recruiter will add or change information about the position. You will only get all the specific tasks related to the position once you have signed the contract. Payment is not the best for qualifications.

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.
