      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

      None. Avoid. This is a sinking ship.

      Cons

      As others have mentioned, the leadership of Toptal is very poor. Constant changes of direction, unstable leaders, a product with tons of competition. They also have extremely high turnover. Even if you get a job here, you'll be looking again in under a year.
