Pros

The only real pro is being able to work remotely though now that's a perk many companies are giving

Cons

Read through the negative reviews. Those are pretty accurate. There's a reason many more people mark those as helpful vs the positive ones. A lot of the positive reviews seem to be phony, like all the ones that couldn't think of any negatives. This company spends a lot of resources on marketing and sales so don't be fooled by their PR.

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.
