Pros

At Toptal I get access to job postings that I wouldn't find anywhere else, I also get multiples of recruiters finding great opportunities. Toptal knows how I work and makes it incredibly easy to find quality spots. I don't have to worry about invoices or billing either. Highly reccommend joining Toptal if you're a product designer.

Cons

Sometimes the client doesn't pay on time, so Toptal tracks it down for you.

Pros

Toptal has been my favorite place to work so far! • The flexibility of remote work is amazing. • I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic clients. • The internal team is supportive, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a bit longer to find a new engagement if you’re looking for opportunities in Asian time zones. In my experience, Europe and the Americas tend to have more opportunities and faster matching.

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.
