J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Toptal (Remote, OR) en sept. 2017
Entretien
Phone interview -> Quick coding challenges through screenshare -> Project -> Project Review.
The big issue is the project. They give you two weeks and expect an entire application with all the bells and whistles. The assignment may mention a minimal UI, they expect a fully fleshed out UX anyways.
The project is not difficult, but it is time consuming. I spent minimal time on it as I had to take time away from paid work to do it, so every hour I spent on this cost me 50USD in lost opportunity. So I wasn't willing to spend the time they were looking for and this interview essentially cost me over a thousand dollars for a rejection.
So, if you're currently unemployed and there's no opportunity cost and you really want it, go for it. But if you have other opportunities you'd be as happy with, don't do what I did, don't waste your time here unless you can commit 40 hours or have non-NDA'd work you can copy paste and adjust for the test.
