Toptal interview questions

3 stage: - Quick chat with someone (I suspect to check you are real) - 1 hour with an engineer to do fairly standard live coding exercise. - Take-home assignment for an entire week to build an app and backend server, followed by a 1 hour review interview. The first two steps are fairly standard and to be expected, however the assignment will consume all of your time for the week, they expect you to build a shippable app by the end of it. This expectation is really pushing the bounds of what is legal, really, unless you are desperate for work, save yourself the hassle and don't even start interviewing.

I was rejected because the Designer Screener didn't like the button colour. Time wasted on a useless project. No explanation was given. At the last interview, applicants were tested on their presentation skills, and Designer Screener said I did well in this area.
