Pros

WFH is the main one. Can travel and work from anywhere

Cons

After being here for awhile I’ve now realized Toptal is all bark and no bite. Most everything is just a PR or marketing trick. You see all those 5 star ratings, they’re because HR tells people to write them. Most of them aren’t even from people that actually work here. They’re from freelancers that use Toptal. And most of those are still fake. Ask yourself have you ever worked at a company with no negative traits? I bet not. So is it really possible a random company no one has heard of has a bunch of glowing reviews saying there’s not a single con about working here? There’s a reason why there’s constant turnover here. Toptal is now offering extra referral bonuses for current employees because they’re so many openings. My advice to job seekers - don’t believe anything this company tells you.

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.
