Pros

Exciting projects and challenges in which you feel that your work does matter. Flexibility to work from wherever you want.

Cons

An important caveat of the remote environment's flexibility is the fact that sometimes it is difficult to log off and wrap things up for the day. A lot of discipline is required in order to avoid burnout.

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.
