Pros

Exciting projects and challenges in which you feel that your work does matter. Flexibility to work from wherever you want.

Cons

An important caveat of the remote environment's flexibility is the fact that sometimes it is difficult to log off and wrap things up for the day. A lot of discipline is required in order to avoid burnout.

Pros

Expectations of performance are very clear, and everyone is there to help if you ask them. The opportunity of working with people from anywhere in the world – literally – is amazing, and working from home creates time to dedicate to other important aspects of life (family, studying, eating well...). Salary above average. Room and encouragement from management to improve your work. Strategies are designed based on data and previous experience, and decision making is simple and quick. Candidates that go through the screening process receive feedback constantly. Leadership trusts you are on top of your game, so no micromanagement!

Cons

To be a Toptaler you must have a great self-discipline; I believe some adapt, others don't since there's no one watching what you're doing. You might find yourself constantly checking your phone to make sure you aren't missing out on anything. Although salary is above average, there are no benefits.

Pros

I've been working for Toptal for over a year, and I can tell that it has been a great year. Working with such incredible and talented people has been a huge experience. Toptal makes possible for me to have the perfect balance between work and family, to travel while working, and Toptal also allows me to pursue my carreer without having to give up on my dreams. Being part of such a fantastic team, formed by top-notch minds and by people focused on solving problems and helping each other, it makes working for Toptal a pleasure. We have built a trustful environment where we can focus on our goals and we can always count on our team mates. I really enjoy being a part of this company.

Cons

Working remotely is not for everyone.
