Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Toptal.
Entrevista
One of the requirements for the interview was professionalism, however the interviewer was late and apologized, which is understandable.
Then I had 15 minutes to understand/complete a live code challenge, meaning coding fast is actually more important than design, simplicity, SOLID, OOD, test coverage, etc. When speed is more important than quality, could sound like a workplace to avoid.

Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Toptal (Cape Town) em jun. de 2026

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,.
