Pros

There are several new openings every day, which will give you opportunities to find a project that has your skillset. There are paid trainings on education platforms for those interested in levelling up their skills.

Cons

Most openings are for engagements that last a few weeks up to a few months. It's very rare to see long-term engagements or engagements that last more than 6 months, specially this year. Moreover, the hourly rate is lower than previous years

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.
