Pros

I'm working here for more than 2 years. So far the pros are: - Flexibility. Just get your work done and be on the daily. Working hours doesn't matter; - Product company. Experiment! (You will less likely get an order what to do and how to do, you should instead think and argue for the way how You see things should be done); - Proactiveness always praised.

Cons

After roses and candy stage is done, you may get a bit skeptical about things going on (like in every other place), but due to flexibility you can always travel while working or take couple of days off to rethink your approach.

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.
