      Pros

      Exceptional talent pool: Working with highly skilled people all around the globe is indeed quite an experience. This leads to lots of opportunity for learning and growth. • Flexibility: TopTal does offer a good work-life balance by allowing you to work remotely. This can lead to a comfortable and flexible working environment.

      Cons

      Uncertain Project Availability: Even though there’s a good number of projects, sometimes there might be considerable waiting periods for your next gig. This leads to unpredictable income. • Communication: There can be quite many communication issues between developers and clients. Better project management is needed for this.

      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.
