Pros

Good pay, remote, and some smart coworkers

Cons

Réad the other reviews if you want details but the main problem is career stagnation. Nothing gets done here, it's all talk and meetings and frustration and no execution. This is not a serious company looking to do serious things. You will learn nothing and have nothing to show for your time here. Work here if you have some side hustle where you can still learn and achieve things maybe.

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.
