Pros

I appreciate freedom I have in Toptal. In Toptal I'm able to work on any project I like. From any location and any timezone. Free (in fact encouraged) to raise any issues I have in my daily work. And in Toptal I'm free to take paid vacations of any length if my team is OK with that.

Cons

The company is now large, which means that not all the merits of individual developers are visible to the management. And this can be really frustrating for me as for developer.

Pros

The company works fully remote which means gives employees some serious mobility advantages. Enjoy traveling or hate going to the office? No issues with that here. Make sure you do your tasks and no one will care where you are. You also have unlimited leave days if you wish to disconnect. The salary is really competitive and the job really makes you use all your skillsets.

Cons

During the beginning 6 months, you are advised to limit your off days so you can better integrate with the team.

Pros

Given that I've spent years working in a software house that's been doing work for start-ups where I've been used to being rushed, seeing people lie and make up excuses, and not spending enough time on design decisions - this company is a refreshingly new experience. The Toptal core team contains a significant number of exceptional individuals, people you might have met in your local programmer gatherings, and renowned open-source contributors. A lot of people here have over a decade of experience in the industry, raising the bar high and making it a perfect place for a fast-learner. The company culture here is top-notch, making up excuses are a no-go. We believe in accepting responsibility, giving feedback and reflecting to improve ourselves in the future. Your ideas here will be heard here, your opinions will be challenged, and you'll get to work on what you think matters. Not to mention you have the privilege here to work from anywhere you want!

Cons

- The team is large and growing. Depending on your experience, learning to get around here might be slower than expected. However, this does promote autonomy, and that's one of the best traits you can acquire.
