Pros

Remote work is the only benefit I can come up with at this point

Cons

Lack of transparency Poor management Lack of systematic and meaningful decision making Nobody cares about people that work there or talent The culture is not really implemented as it is propagated (they say one thing, do another in practice)

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.
