- No retirement matching - No cost of living salary increases, you must take on new responsibilities to see an increase in pay - Some growing pains with recent growth, but it's smoothing out - Must provide own tech for work aside from an extra monitor

Professional and interested in quality work.

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.
