Pros

Highly flexible work. It is paid really well, so the hard interview process is really worth it. Overall you have many opportunities regardless of the job that you do, so there is job for Management, Developers, QA and many more.

Cons

You have to find your own clients. When you enter the Toptal Network they are providing you the access to their clients, but you have to apply and get chosen to do the job for them
