Byteboard Reviews & Product Details

Byteboard stood out since it assesses, on a real world way, engineering skills, rather than relying on interview performance only. The take-home exercises are designed to reflect practical work.

From a TA perspective, it helped reduce interviewer bias and fatigue by standardizing the evaluation process. The structured rubrics made it easier to compare candidates consistently. It was also valuable in the early stages of the funnel, since it allowed us to screen candidates in a way that was more aligned with our on the job expectations, while reducing the amount of sync interview time required from our eng team.

The take-home format, while effective for assessing real skills, can increase drop-off rates, especially for sr candidates or the ones coming from big tech or those already in multiple processes. It also works best when teams are aligned on how and when to use it. Without clear communication to candidates abt expectations and timing, the experience can feel heavy, even if the assessment itself is well designed.

To sum it up, it’s not a fit for every role or hiring context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real time run code in the test UI is both a blessing and a curse -- the curse part being that it compels you to keep typing in running code as fast as possible, even when the test objective is to show design considerations and not final code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While better than most technical interviews, and suppressing pasting from outside test tabs is understandable in the age of AI hype, copy and paste should still be permissible within the same tab of the design comment input interface, especially when fillable comment cards move unpredictably around the canvas upon click events. I definitely got a couple of false negative answers due to this core UX problem combined with the artificial time limits, which also triggered without any warning.

The idea of having a break in the middle of the test is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used Byteboard for a number of positions. Having used several assessment tools, I haven't found one that simulates on-the-job performance nearly as well as Byteboard. Our team has also used Byteboard assessments for non-coding positions, such as a product manager. Candidates seem to enjoy the process more than other assessment tools. And for us, it's a great way to gague how a candidate will approach challenges in the wild. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was more customizability with the assessments, though to be fair, whenever we have contacted the Byteboard team they have helped us customize the assessments to our requirements. But, it would be nice if we could do so within the Byteboard platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I got interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer role and solved a task on a web application on Byteboard platform.

The interviewing experience was seamless. Clean UI and flow. Hope more and more tech platforms use Byteboard for evaluating candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alghough I didn't experience any issues, I feel adding an alert few minutes before allocated time is elapsed will be very useful. That will help to avoid last minute changes that may bring issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Byteboard makes it easier to get initial interview rounds through, since we don't need to have an engineer host the interview (and take time to write feedback). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Byteboard did not have customizable questions, which is important for Figma. And we also value face-to-face time as a way to humanize the interview process and engage candidates more. I've also seen candidates that have gone through on-sites because of a strong passing score in Byteboard but they did poorly on all of their coding interviews.

The Byteboard assessment assesses for actual engineering and coding skills, versus traditional coding interviews that assess for how much you've practiced for the test. This gives employers better signal on candidates' technical skills. Byteboard also provides a great candidate experience! We've had many candidates tell us that they loved taking a test that measures actual skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, we've been very happy with Byteboard! No complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
