Pros

Toptal deserves all the praise it can get. This is a employee-centric company where everyone's opinion counts. It's driven by it's engineers and it's community. With that, each and every client counts as well and caring about end products when having over 2k clients is admirable. The company is also amazingly open and flexible. There are people who are hyper-motivated and work like crazy just because they love it so the work-life balance is dictated by you. I'm one of them and I'm yet to experience how it feels not to love your job every single day! I'm privileged to be working at Toptal. - Executive support [Being able to communicate whenever you want, with any person on Toptal from Taso and Breanden to every single developer in the network] - Flexibility [Working remotely, being able to travel and work is incredible] - Work/Life balance - Compensation - Growth - Opportunities - Remote work - Great clients - Exposure to amazing people and talented people.

Cons

I found none in 2 years that I've been working with Toptal.

Pros

Toptal has been my favorite place to work so far! • The flexibility of remote work is amazing. • I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic clients. • The internal team is supportive, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a bit longer to find a new engagement if you’re looking for opportunities in Asian time zones. In my experience, Europe and the Americas tend to have more opportunities and faster matching.

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.
