Pros

Toptal deserves all the praise it can get. This is a employee-centric company where everyone's opinion counts. It's driven by it's engineers and it's community. With that, each and every client counts as well and caring about end products when having over 2k clients is admirable. The company is also amazingly open and flexible. There are people who are hyper-motivated and work like crazy just because they love it so the work-life balance is dictated by you. I'm one of them and I'm yet to experience how it feels not to love your job every single day! I'm privileged to be working at Toptal. - Executive support [Being able to communicate whenever you want, with any person on Toptal from Taso and Breanden to every single developer in the network] - Flexibility [Working remotely, being able to travel and work is incredible] - Work/Life balance - Compensation - Growth - Opportunities - Remote work - Great clients - Exposure to amazing people and talented people.

Cons

I found none in 2 years that I've been working with Toptal.

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.
