      Pros

      I have been working for Toptal for a few months now and I am beyond happy with my choice to join Toptal. For those who appreciate their time and want to retain freedom and flexibility, working for Toptal is the way to do so. I, in particular, am more motivated to dedicate 110% of myself to work when I have ability to run my errands in the middle of the day or just take a walk or hit the gym in between my interviews.

      Cons

      Toptal might be difficult for those who are not great in self-discipline and with regular office mindset, in terms that you get work done once supervised and limited by strict deadlines. In Toptal, supervision is minimal and you are responsible for organizing and executing daily tasks.

      Thank you for this positive and candid review. Working remotely at a high level isn't a fit for everyone because it demands a lot: self-discipline, focus, time management skills, and internal drive. On the other hand, working remotely at Toptal gives everyone on our team the autonomy to define and execute on their own terms, in their own time, and from literally anywhere. We're thrilled to hear that it's working so well for you.

      Pros

      If you're looking to make a global impact with a tight-knit distributed team, Toptal is the perfect place to do so. Visionary leadership, a flat organizational structure, explosive growth, and a results driven work ethic– these are just some of the qualities that stand out.

      Cons

      No cons from my perspective, but remote working is not for everyone. For example– near perfect punctuality is expected a half-dozen times a day (as opposed to showing up between 9am-11am once like you might expect in a physical office).

      Pros

      Things move fast. People in the team are willing to collaborate. They are open to suggestions.

      Cons

      The initial job offer is not quite the same as the actual job, each recruiter will add or change information about the position. You will only get all the specific tasks related to the position once you have signed the contract. Payment is not the best for qualifications.

      We hire ambitious, agile people who accept Toptal’s rapid growth as a challenge and are dedicated to evolving with the company. Successful team members understand that flexibility equals new opportunities to learn, and compensation that aligns with those responsibilities.
