Pros

Remote work. Task based work VS time based. Fair payment system, based on performance. Good support from management and awesome travel opportunities. When I suggest an idea, I am often amazed how quickly it gets implemented - managers really listen.

Cons

Paid USD only - be great to be paid in local currency if possible. The "unlimited vacations" policy recently changed - more guidance on vacations would be good - but this will likely happen, as more guidance is given. Sometimes there is too much micro management - but overall, the management are great to work with.

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.
