Pros

Toptal's model is very innovative and we are passionate about changing the way in which we clients all over the world are able to access elite talent. Seeing this in action is very exciting and personally fulfilling. Leadership is committed to our success with hands-on, real-time feedback. The trajectory is compelling for what the future holds for our business.

Cons

We move and mobilize very quickly which for some might be a hard adjustment. Demand from clients and internal stakeholders means that this is not a typical 9 - 5 job. Work life balance is not clearly delineated. While not a con to all, we have a very direct culture.

Pros

Toptal has been my favorite place to work so far! • The flexibility of remote work is amazing. • I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic clients. • The internal team is supportive, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a bit longer to find a new engagement if you’re looking for opportunities in Asian time zones. In my experience, Europe and the Americas tend to have more opportunities and faster matching.

Pros

Met some good dedicated employees and freelance workers.

Cons

Lack of any real industry solutions or capabilities since 100% of delivery services are freelance contractors. Model has been successful as providing staff augmentation to clients, but all intellectual capital and outcomes are owned by the clients or the freelancer. Toptal is simply a staffing platform broker who marks up the freelance talent. Great if you need a plumber, but not if you're planning to build a bathroom.
