J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Toptal en janv. 2016
Entretien
First quick call to check my English with a boring, rigid guy. After that I was to solve some algorithms on Codility which were not even close to the role I applied for, although I somehow managed to figure out decent solutions. Next, live coding and tech screening session was scheduled, but it lasted just for 3 minutes. They do not allow ANY inspiration when you solve those algorithms, which I admitted to have on the last task (looked for a formula) they finish recrutation immediately if it is the case. It was very negative experience and I do not recommend this company.

Question 1
An integer X and a non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers are given. We are interested in which elements of A are qual to X and which are different from X. The goal is to split array A into two parts, such that the number of elements equal to X in the first part is the same as the number of elements different from X in the other part. More formally, we are looking for an index K such that: 0 ≤ K < N and the number of elements equal to X in A[0..K−1] is the same as the number of elements different from X in A[K..N−1]. For K = 0, A[0..K−1] does not contain any elements.
Tech screening and then tech interview, leetcode style questions. Then there was a take home project.. not in-person. all done remotely and online. Good interviewers, helpful, easy process and good communication
I applied to Toptal and I'm having an interview days later. What can I prepare for now? I wanna get some details or tips from you. Please help me with your toptal screening interview experience.
