Pros

In the last year, I have seen a lot of positive changes at Toptal. The culture has shifted tremendously and the leadership has strengthened. Change can be hard, especially for people who have been at the company for a long time -- but it's exciting to see the positive momentum and morale shift, which in turn is creating new opportunities for all of us. Toptal is an organization of really smart people who are experts in their field. It's a pleasure to work with such professionals on a daily basis.

Cons

Remote work isn't for everyone. You must be a self-starter and driven to be able to succeed here and tackle all of the work ahead of us. The speed of communication is immediate, but also extremely impressive as decisions are made and work gets done fast.

Pros

Toptal has been my favorite place to work so far! • The flexibility of remote work is amazing. • I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic clients. • The internal team is supportive, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a bit longer to find a new engagement if you’re looking for opportunities in Asian time zones. In my experience, Europe and the Americas tend to have more opportunities and faster matching.

Pros

Met some good dedicated employees and freelance workers.

Cons

Lack of any real industry solutions or capabilities since 100% of delivery services are freelance contractors. Model has been successful as providing staff augmentation to clients, but all intellectual capital and outcomes are owned by the clients or the freelancer. Toptal is simply a staffing platform broker who marks up the freelance talent. Great if you need a plumber, but not if you're planning to build a bathroom.
