Pros

There are enough jobs for popular stacks.

Cons

They charge to much on top of dev’s rates - from 80 up to 100%. If you have 60-70$/hr then customer pays 110-130$. I had experience twice when customer did buy out of my contract for 30k$. There are to complicated review & onboarding processes Company looks like remote bodyshop.

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.
