Pros

Incredible journey so far - the pedigree and caliber of talent I'm surrounded by is top notch. Opportunity to work with a diverse group of people located all over the world. The culture is energizing and passionate despite being a fully remote organization. The company is constantly looking for ways to improve and be more innovative - they ask for feedback regularly and actually take it into account! Challenging work and opportunity to grow.

Cons

The pace is extremely fast, which can be difficult to keep up with at times. Some clunky processes and still figuring a lot out as we go, but actively aware of and working on tackling those issues.

Pros

Toptal's model is very innovative and we are passionate about changing the way in which we clients all over the world are able to access elite talent. Seeing this in action is very exciting and personally fulfilling. Leadership is committed to our success with hands-on, real-time feedback. The trajectory is compelling for what the future holds for our business.

Cons

We move and mobilize very quickly which for some might be a hard adjustment. Demand from clients and internal stakeholders means that this is not a typical 9 - 5 job. Work life balance is not clearly delineated. While not a con to all, we have a very direct culture.

Pros

Toptal provides a competitive salary whilst, at the same time, offering remote working which, in itself is a huge benefit. I live in a remote part of a foreign country with my wife and infant son. I was unable to physically go to work as someone needed to take care of our son when he was a newborn. I found a job at Toptal and began working for the company on a full-time basis. That was almost 3 years ago and I've been promoted from the job I first started on. I couldn't be happier with my job. I have been able to earn and be ever-present for my family at the same time which is a priceless feeling. Not only that, my job is interesting, challenging and gives me real job satisfaction. I can't recommend Toptal as a workplace highly enough.

Cons

I won't lie - transitioning to a remote workplace when you've only known office-based work is quite hard at the beginning. That said, we have chat rooms, lots of community events and the company works really hard to ensure that everyone feels included every single day. I think that effort makes working remotely for Toptal a lot easier than it would be for other remote companies.
