      Pros

      Nothing. Perhaps being able to work from home but Toptal was such a horrible place to work it made even opening my laptop fill me with dread.

      Cons

      Everything, but here is a short-list: - Terrible management - Lack of processes within teams - No benefits for any members outside the US - They advocate flexi-working but there is no trust whatsoever and expect to answer Slack evenings and weekends - No mentorship - No OKR process or individual progression - Hiring and firing culture (I know over 5 people personally who got fired without any warning or indication) - Lack of career progression - Teammates who treat you badly but you have no evidence because it is remote.

      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.
