      Consultant Interview

      11 May 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal (New York, NY) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      Process was all over the place. Recruiter was over an hour late to the first interview, very scattered and unsure on compensation and specifics to the role. Company and product seem great, but an interview process is a direct reflection of a company and their culture. The recruiter did not even interview me or allow me to interview for a role, then sent a generic rejection letter with no specifics on even the role interviewed- probably because I did not even interview for a job. The company is an interesting concept and has received positive press. But to fail at a relatively easy task of screening people, says a lot. Be careful in falling for the illusion of this company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Basic questions about the resume- however recruiter lacked in knowledge of industries outside of technology and could not correlate the experience.

      Application

      I interviewed at Toptal

      Interview

      Many steps, rigorous. Good communication (highly automated system), although the timing was unclear. HR screening, online profile. Request to give access to personal Gmail calendar AND ANY CALENDAR ACCESSED THROUGJ GMAIL. Recruiter made very tempting offer, than as soon as profile was complete (took hours, over days), opportunity evaporated.
