I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Toptal (Remote, OR)
Interview
Phone screen followed by a Portfolio Review and design exercise. All remote and over skype. Many of the interviewers are VERY junior and their expertise was questionable. Several times the interviewers contradicted themselves and they seemed very unprepared.

Why didn't you spend spend more time on your design exercise than the specified 8 hours?
The interview process had several steps ( screening, interview, assessment, presentation, profile building) but they were very clear and well structured and screeners were very professional. I was able to take my time to go through all of it and it payed off.
