I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Toptal in Aug 2020
Interview
The worst process I have ever seen so far.
1. coding round
2. coding round code review and video round, with shared screen.
I would suggest not to go for this company at all. These guys are so unprofessional. I was asked to review my code and told i had similarities in my code from other solutions available on other websites, only the variable name differs.
How can someone write a sorting algorithm or a search algorithm in different way, which is not present anywhere in internet.
Then he started blaming me saying that i should come clean if i have copied it from somewhere.
After that i got 15 min to solve a question which actually can not be solved in 15 min, if you don't know about 15 min. and faster then a typewriter.
