      Director Interview

      1 May 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal (New York, NY) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      The first step was a screening call with a recruiter, then I was assigned a business case and had to send a 10-minute recording presenting the case, and the third step was an interview with the hiring manager.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The basics, tell me about yourself, why this company, why this role, how do you handle challenging situations, etc.

      Director Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Toptal

      Interview

      Very disorganized. Went through several interviews where I didn’t hear back from talent/HR person for weeks. Then when I told them I had accepted another offer, they repeatedly called to try to schedule an interview with a VP who didn’t seem to have time to meet until I had moved on.

      Director Interview

      8 May 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal (New York, NY) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      First call with a recruiter to understand the role / company and whether my experience is a good fit or not. So far pretty standard. Next step was a business case, to which you will devote 20 hrs or more. You need to record yourself as part of the business case (no live presentation). Right before sending it to the recruiter I receive a message that the position has been filled the week before (it would have been great to get this information earlier, especially given the amount of time invested so far in the case)
