Pros
At Toptal you really feel like you are part of the next big thing. You get to work with people from different cultures all over the world. Everyone is extremely smart, self-motivated and strive for excellence. You really feel like your individual work is contributing to the mission. Leadership is down-to-earth, understanding and supportive. Toptal is a transparent environment where you are encouraged to bring up possible improvements. You are not chained to a desk. You see your co-workers being able to spend time with their kids, outdoor activities on the weekends and balance their lives
Cons
I am disappointed by the few negative reviews I see here. Toptal's culture is built for and by high performers. There is a misconception that a remote job means, "easy". If you love to roll up your sleeves and be part of building something that has never been built before, then this is a place for you. If you prefer the "everything handled for you" corporate environment, then this company would not be a fit.
