no proper time limit for re-applying for a job after one time not showing up to interview as I said it is very unprofessional. I would prefer having a second chance for re arranging an interview schedule
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal in Mar 2022
Interview
I have completed the technical tasks. They were on codility and their problems are literally everywhere I saw them as I was studying for the interview and they accused me of cheating. Which is okay if you think somebody is cheating you can always decline but they invited me for a technical call, I passed that and then scheduled another meeting after that one they said our assistant thinks it is extremely similar to one of the solutions on internet. They literally wasted hours of my time and instead of writing an email why they declined they scheduled a second interview and almost insulted. I was not even cheating they are asking literally the most common type of questions on the internet. Their treatment for candidates is awful and their expectations are usually not logical they expect an out of box solution to already solved problems which is straight stupid.
Lengthy and a lot of steps but good feedback. You will a few technical rounds followed by a take home project. The technical rounds may include live coding questions, you do your best and do not panic. Try to show your best work on the coding test.
