      Pros

      Expectations of performance are very clear, and everyone is there to help if you ask them. The opportunity of working with people from anywhere in the world – literally – is amazing, and working from home creates time to dedicate to other important aspects of life (family, studying, eating well...). Salary above average. Room and encouragement from management to improve your work. Strategies are designed based on data and previous experience, and decision making is simple and quick. Candidates that go through the screening process receive feedback constantly. Leadership trusts you are on top of your game, so no micromanagement!

      Cons

      To be a Toptaler you must have a great self-discipline; I believe some adapt, others don't since there's no one watching what you're doing. You might find yourself constantly checking your phone to make sure you aren't missing out on anything. Although salary is above average, there are no benefits.

      Professional and interested in quality work.

      Cons

      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.
