Pros

The job is fully remote and good salary.

Cons

You never know what is true or false, From one day to another, (even with good metrics), the lead/manager can tell you everything is great, and tells you that you are doing good job, and in the next month you get lay off. A complete unsecure company which (as per my humble career), you better never trust.

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.
