The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal in Apr 2021
Interview
I was bluntly accused of copying the code from somewhere. Where in explained my case to the interviewer that previously I had practiced coding the same question of leetcode and I was able to write the code involving the same logic I had solved it with and put in some better approach taken by someone else.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. I see that the code seems to be copied from somewhere?
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Toptal in Apr 2017
Interview
One HR interview
One 2 part codility challenge
One supervised 2 part codility challenge
One homework assignment
Homework assignment was interesting . So were the 2 codility challenges. But this is where the fun part stopped. After submitting the home assignment i did not hear from the company for almost a month, at which point i was contacted by a HR representative to inform me that the position i was applying for was already in the final stage of being negociated with another person, but that they regret the fact that i was not contacted sooner.
That, coupled with the fact that after the initial contact it took 4 months to get contacted, makes me believe that the entire interview process for these guys leaves a lot to be desired.
