Pros

- good money from the start - a lot of people that know their stuff

Cons

- if you did not get money at the start, forget the raise - don't get near CEO - some PMs create toxic culture and they are praised for it - politics - some people are clearly lazy and they get away with it because of being friends with some others

Pros

I'm a Core team member, not a Talent in Toptal's network (freelancer). If you want to work alongside very talented people, be challenged on a daily basis, help shape the future of work while enjoying a fully remote work environment with flexible working hours, this is the place to be. To top it all off, you're paid in US dollars which can be quite interesting if you're living in a place where the US currency is stronger than the local one.

Cons

No benefits for international employees, so be sure to keep that in mind when negotiating your salary

Pros

Since new leadership has been infused at Toptal, there has been a remarkable difference in culture, alignment, and energy that stems from the top. This is a truly global company with more than half the company coming from outside the US. Although it is global and a completely remote team, Toptal maintains a tight culture of engaged, driven people that want to do great things and fuel growth. The fully distributed model allows people to work from anywhere, and it works because team members get their stuff done and we all hold each other accountable. As long as you do your work and do the right thing, you have the freedom to also accomplish your personal goals and a work/life balance that is much harder to achieve with a typical in-office job. It is incredible to be part of a hyper growth company that is changing the future of work. In only a few years, remote work and the freelance economy will be even more prominent, and Toptal will be at the forefront of this movement.

Cons

If you are in need of social interaction 'outside of the office' or if you're not a self-motivated/self-starter, then the fully remote work environment might not be for you.
