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

Met some good dedicated employees and freelance workers.

Cons

Lack of any real industry solutions or capabilities since 100% of delivery services are freelance contractors. Model has been successful as providing staff augmentation to clients, but all intellectual capital and outcomes are owned by the clients or the freelancer. Toptal is simply a staffing platform broker who marks up the freelance talent. Great if you need a plumber, but not if you're planning to build a bathroom.
