I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Toptal in Sep 2021
Interview
the interviewer was pretty strict. he told me we'll have 2 tasks each task should take 15 minutes then he asked me share my whole screen, and asked me to close all apps in the top bar. after doing so he presented me with the task description which was about amicable numbers. i couldn't fully understand the task description and he didn't try to give me any hints or even explain the task then he proceeded with starting the time for the task i tried to implement it but i didn't really understand what i should do tried to ask him again if he can explain it and he didn't help. once the time was over he told me we're not going to continue the process because i started implementing without understanding the task. then he explained the task to me which i gave him the right answer but it was too late.
Tech screening and then tech interview, leetcode style questions. Then there was a take home project.. not in-person. all done remotely and online. Good interviewers, helpful, easy process and good communication
I applied to Toptal and I'm having an interview days later. What can I prepare for now? I wanna get some details or tips from you. Please help me with your toptal screening interview experience.
