What do you like best about CodeSignal?

CodeSignal’s user interface is second to none; it allows us to design our own assessments using adaptive programming questions that cover all bases. Also, the automatic assessment is fantastic; applicants (in this case, developers) receive instant feedback on how they are doing, and we can see a deep assessment of their skills as they develop. As a result, we have been able to find the best candidates faster and with much less effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeSignal?

Not very useful for assessing the ability of candidates to work in a team or communicate effectively. This made it necessary to use additional assessment tools, such as interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?

For a large project, we needed developers. We had many CVs, but lacked a reliable method to assess their technical skills. Neither the online tests nor the more conventional interviews were sufficient. We were able to establish a method for objectively assessing the coding skills of candidates during the recruitment process after implementing CodeSignal. It was clear to us that he was offering an impartial assessment. As an added bonus, the developers liked to be able to show off their skills in a real environment rather than answering our questions.

What do you like best about CodeSignal?

The exam and interface were easy to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeSignal?

The biggest issue, I think, was the inability to understand your scoring. I felt my solution worked well, passed all the tests, and covered corner cases. My orginal score was cut in half once reviewed and I'm still unsure why. I checked stack overflow, leet code, and other sources for similar questions and have yet to find my solution not similar or more efficient than other highly rated solutions. This made the experience frustrating to say the least. I understand not being able to show questions and answers but the fact my solution's score was cut in half with no explanation as to why, I don't believe, is best practice.

What do you like best about CodeSignal?

The replay feature for the interview, being able to look back at a specific timestamp and fork the state so that I can play around to see what could have been fixed. Or if they candidate goes onto attempt an extension and completely messes up their code, I can go back to when the main part of the question was working. The feedback section is great so that I can take notes while still watching the candidate code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeSignal?

When creating an interview, the popup with the link isn't clickable, I have to copy the link and then paste it in a new window Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Needing to collaborate on code with candidates when interviewing. Allows us to better guage the technical skills of the candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
