Pros

I am so proud to call Toptal home. Here are my top 5 reasons why I love working at Toptal in no particular order. 1. Great work-life balance through remote work. 2. Autonomy to be creative and entrepreneurial. 3. I am working on product features that are both challenging and exciting, but most importantly, these product features can help improve the lives of its users. 4. Leadership and management team are attentive and caring - they ensure that your voice is heard and provide plenty of opportunities to contribute to the overall success of the company. 5. Great impactful opportunities. If you like to be continuously challenged, execute against goals, and have an impact, then this is the place to be

Cons

Traditional growing pains that companies have in growth mode. However, growing pains are useful and vital to the company's growth and success.

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.
