Pros

If you live in a small city or in a third world country (like me) Toptal is one of the best alternatives to find a good job without have to leave your city

Cons

The recruiting process when you apply for a job sometimes is a bit cloudy, even though you have all the skills necessaries that role, sometimes the recruiter doesn't schedule an interview with the client (or the client reject I don't know), This part of the process could be a bit more transparent

The growth and freedom to define the future of work that make Toptal an amazing place to work are a direct result of our CEO's philosophy, vision, and passion. Senior leadership has always been and will continue to be active in numerous aspects of the daily operations of the business. Toptal wouldn’t be the best career fit if you aren’t looking for that kind of involvement from the people who shaped the company from the ground up.

Pros

Professional and nice people, especially the recruiters.

Cons

You have to apply for gigs, pitch against thousands of other freelancers. This means, you can be here for a year and not have more than 1 contract.
