      Pros

      1. Freedom to be wherever you want, 2. Lots of flexibility in regard to working time, 3. No micromanagement, lots of space to make your own decisions, 4. I actually learned a lot while working at Toptal, not just on the tech side, but also about business and operations.

      Cons

      1. Feel overworked more often that I'd like. Partly this is due to timezone differences and early\late meetings. 2. Expectation and goals are not always clear.

      One of our management principles is that team leads should always be aware of how everyone on their team is doing and what they’re working on. Some team leads do this through regular one-on-one meetings, while others use a more personal, less structured approach. If you’re seeking dedicated one-on-one time with your manager and you're not getting it now, please don't hesitate to request it. Make it clear that you would benefit from more regular meetups and your manager will make it happen.

      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.
