Toptal interview questions

The interview process requires you to do a coding test on Codily platform. I did not pass the first time because I did not get a long with the test environment, but towards the end I found myself, but it was too late. One month later I took the test again and passed. After passing the coding test, I had to do an interview with an actual person, the guy was very nice, asked few question and asked me to share my screen do some live coding. He gave me only 15 minutes to complete the task. To be honest, when he said 15 minutes I actually understood 50 minutes, due to his accent, and though to my self that I would get that done. While I was doing everything, thinking I had 50 minutes, and getting the first results, he interrupted me and said that I had 5 more minutes.. That felt like a bucked of freezing water down on my head. Only 15 minutes to complete a complex task like that?? Well, I had half of the problem solved and that was not enough to pass me.

I had an initial call w the recruiter then a call immediately after with the COO. I declined to interview further after this 2nd call and learning about the culture through the COO's disposition.
