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.

Pros

Their highly flexible model allows consultants to choose their hours, rates, services, and location. The team is kind, collaborative, and supportive. They're willing to engage in multiple ways—as clients, partners, and consultants.

Cons

You're competing against a lot of other talented individuals for projects, meaning you won't land every opportunity you're interested in. The marketing, selling, network, and advocacy comes with a cost that lowers you take home if you were going direct. The trade off though is the ability to focus on what you do best and gain access to some really exciting clients.
