J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Toptal en mars 2022
Entretien
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.

The interview process has been structured and professional so far. It started with the initial application and screening, followed by an online coding assessment with algorithm-style questions focused on correctness, edge cases, and problem solving under time pressure. After completing that stage, I was invited to schedule a live technical interview. Communication has been clear, with detailed instructions about the interview format, environment requirements, screen sharing, and expectations around working without external assistance. The process feels rigorous and time-sensitive,.
