They have a few interviews: an introduction interview to get to know you, another one for sending your portfolio deck, another one is longer, and you talk about 2-3 projects on your portfolio and answer questions, and then take home assignment
Here's an outline of the typical Toptal interview process:
1. Initial screening - Submit application on the website and the recruiter will reach out to you for a screening call.
2. In-Depth Skill Review - Portfolio Review
3. Talk-home challenge
4. Final Interview

Great process, very straightforward. I've enjoyed the design assessment challenge and questions during the interview were aligned with the expectation. The last step, cultural fit interview is an interesting concept.
