I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal in Feb 2022
Interview
1st step: normal talk, probably just testing English
2nd step: codility test. not difficult but somehow got a Data Scientist problemset instead of Computer Vision
3rd step: Live coding. Ended up with rejection.
Also my impression of the interviewer(Toptal Employee) is really bad it makes me don't wanna work with Toptal.

Interview
account manageer interview: the usual tell us about your experiences, past project etc, technical interview with an experienced developer: he was not prepared with concrete questions, just ad-hoc (this is not negative) + a live coding, that was not practical I think
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell about your background, then a technical inteview (practical questions) and live coding
No clue about what they are interviewing for, very random process and random questions. especially the criteria for selecting ML engineers is not about understanding ML but about coding with pandas very good
