      Pros

      1. Freedom to be wherever you want, 2. Lots of flexibility in regard to working time, 3. No micromanagement, lots of space to make your own decisions, 4. I actually learned a lot while working at Toptal, not just on the tech side, but also about business and operations.

      Cons

      1. Feel overworked more often that I'd like. Partly this is due to timezone differences and early\late meetings. 2. Expectation and goals are not always clear.

      One of our management principles is that team leads should always be aware of how everyone on their team is doing and what they’re working on. Some team leads do this through regular one-on-one meetings, while others use a more personal, less structured approach. If you’re seeking dedicated one-on-one time with your manager and you're not getting it now, please don't hesitate to request it. Make it clear that you would benefit from more regular meetups and your manager will make it happen.

      We've invested heavily in building a strong engineering team so that we can continue to scale rapidly. At the same time, we’re always working to improve communications. If you feel you need more visibility into any ongoing initiatives, don’t hesitate to ask for it.

      We work hard to provide flexibility and diverse project opportunities so that you can grow professionally, so it's great to hear that you value this. With regards to lag time between projects, keep in mind that this is often simply because clients need time to make decisions. Feel free to ping your matcher any time for best practices on starting a new project.
