Pros

Remote working sounds great, but I always felt that I'd feel isolated if I worked remotely. That isn't the case at all at Toptal. Toptal's like a big family - people really, genuinely care for each other. We all help each other - and the company - to succeed. Also, Toptal is also a quick-expanding, dynamic company and I enjoy the challenges that that brings. While everyone helps each other, we always ensure that everyone is performing. We're all driving for the best service that Toptal can provide and ensuring excellence in every department. It's also great to have excellent work recognized as such. In other places that I've worked, I have felt unappreciated - that's not the case at Toptal.

Cons

I sometimes find it difficult to "switch off" when it's so easy to just start working again if something is pending. It takes some getting used to, but it's not a big problem. Apart from that, there's nothing. I honestly cannot think of anything else that I don't like about working here!

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.
