J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Toptal en févr. 2019
Entretien
A several steps interview.
- Initial assessment;
- Codility task;
- Love coding;
- Test Project.
In general they don't really care about the quality of the code you write. The live coding is targeted only on results rather than on the way of thinking or complexity of the solution.
They don't really check the code you write for the project step and assess your communication rather than the solution. So be prepared for rejection if you made an ideal project but haven't communicated the requirements enough. Ridiculous.

Entretien
The interview process has been structured and professional so far. It started with the initial application and screening, followed by an online coding assessment with algorithm-style questions focused on correctness, edge cases, and problem solving under time pressure. After completing that stage, I was invited to schedule a live technical interview. Communication has been clear, with detailed instructions about the interview format, environment requirements, screen sharing, and expectations around working without external assistance. The process feels rigorous and time-sensitive,.
