programming interview with Toptal engineer included 3 tasks. I wrote working code for 2/3 of them, however my code did not run for the 3rd task as i was tight on time and the interviewer literally told me my solution is right but since the code didn't run I am out of the interview process.
I think the process is not hard, but it is unfairly harsh.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Toptal in Oct 2024

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Toptal in Sep 2021
Interview
There were 4 steps. The first one was more on behavioral questions. The second and the third ones were technical. Before the last one, they gave me an assignment, and we reviewed it in the last interview step.
