Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How long have you been working with the technology you have applied for.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Toptal in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview process was fast, but interview questions were irrelevant to the position. The coding task is easy, but the amount of time they give is enough to code the solution only if you code it correctly from the first attempt. No time for debugging etc. They also don't give you any hints whatsoever if you go the wrong way. May depend on the interviewer though.
