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.

This is such great feedback, thank you. As a company, we are always working to encourage not just professional but also personal growth and success. We want all of our team members to learn, collaborate, and grow as people and professionals.
Not really a con, but more work waiting than hours allow.

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.
