Pros

Fully remote work means you are entrusted to handle your work schedule as you see fit. Can work from home or while traveling, and are encouraged to make the most of this. Working with team members located all over the world is an awesome learning experience, and promotes a global perspective in everyday life. Team members are by necessity adept at communication. Decent pay.

Cons

Expectations can pile up and become unreasonable. Hours can become very long to keep up. It's important to be able to step away from your computer once in a while. As the company grows, it seems it must give up some of the "small company" feel and culture.

Pros

None. Avoid. This is a sinking ship.

Cons

As others have mentioned, the leadership of Toptal is very poor. Constant changes of direction, unstable leaders, a product with tons of competition. They also have extremely high turnover. Even if you get a job here, you'll be looking again in under a year.
