I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal in Sep 2021
Interview
First phase 90min 3 problems on hackerrank. Not very algorithmical so choose a language you are very familiar with.
Second phase is an interview with 2 algorithmic problems 15min to code each. I would recommend using python on this one
Third phase home project: I had to make a calorie tracker app in 7 days deadline, work expected was 10h (yes 10h ridiculous knowing that you need a production ready app)
I was rejected in the third phase, I choose django for backend and react for frontend, apparently I wrote very non standard react code: I used inheritance with react components and I didnt use hooks...
They told me I can apply again in ~2 months and do only the home project but I'm not a PEP standard loving andy so thats not gonna happen.

Question 1
Not really any questions, only algorithm problems and the home assignment
Processo de onboarding para início de processo com a toptal. Perguntaram sobre como você se comportaria diante de determinada situação
Avaliam capacidade de formar palavras e se expressas etc. Em todo momento a pessoa que entrevistadora foi muito gentil e educada. No meu caso eu passei nesse teste primário e no teste do codility.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal in Mar 2018
Interview
There were three parts, a code challenge you can complete by yourself without supervision, three algoritmic questions of increasing complexity, then an English interview, then, problem solving again, but this time with someone watching the entire time.
