It's not a dislike - it is a growing platform and with it a more mature feature that allows for full API integration with an existing system that I think they are going to be offering in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy for people, even without a tech background to understand the difficulty and types of tests to administer to candidates and to understand the skills.

Also has enough details for those who ARE technical to do a more intensive deep-dive into those skills.

The flexibile pricing plans and affordability of the plans is a huge plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No complaints. Unsubscribed (with 2 clicks!) once we had filled the role we were looking at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used many platforms before deciding on one, but it was the only platform which was not at all useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Features are very limited.

Support was not good.

Limited Customisation.

Couldn't use regularly due issues with applicaiton.

Couldn't integrate well with other softwares.

It was not easy to send invites and resend.

Setting up account and getting started was not smooth.

Tests were not specific to role as expected.

Waste of time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This allows employers to test candidates across a wide range of technical skills.

Customization Options: The ability to select and customize templates for different roles enables employers to tailor assessments to their specific needs, making it easier to identify the most qualified candidates.

Integrated Interview Tools: The live coding IDE, along with video and whiteboarding capabilities, provides a robust environment for conducting technical interviews. This setup facilitates a more interactive and revealing interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overemphasis on Technical Skills: Relying heavily on technical assessments could potentially overlook other crucial skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, which are also vital for many roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to setup and use. Also, I like the builtin question bank that I can just pick questions from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For coding challenges, the test cases are on the easier end -- I reviewed the code, and some of the wrong solutions can still get most of the scores.

Also, some question descriptions can be improved a little bit -- would be great if Coderbyte allows editing the coding question description. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Coderbyte is simple to use, straightforward, and does exactly what we needed it to do, which is to provide a colloborative coding environment for technical interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing stands out, because like I said we just needed a colloborative coding environment for technical interviews and Coderbyte did that perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed to run interviews and serve code assessments for quick candidate screening. Coderbyte helps you get the job done.

We didn't test all the features, like open ended assessments or behavioral questions since we already has a system in place for them, but the code feature was easy to setup and share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the chatGPT era, it is very difficult to make a remote assessment to demonstrate the candidate's learnt and innate ability to solve a coding problem.

Nowadays I expect everytone to be using an assistant to help the code solution. While coderbyte does seem to have some anti cheat feature, we didn't find it particularly useful.

Instead of restricting the interviewee workspace UI, I'd suggest to expand it and let them google search and use chatGPT on the same site. It's much more useful to see how they search or prompt than to suddenly see a code being pasted.

In any case, this has still been useful as a binary gate for the code stage. Everyone is expected to pass and red flag those who don't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Good customer support

* Integrated google search inside the coding test

* ChatGPT plagiarism detection

* Cheap compared to other platform

* The monthly bill is considered a bit expensive for a company based outside the U.S

* Lately, every time the page change (moving) the page come into a freeze state without loading screen

* Erasing candidate assesment withing 90 days after subcribtion cancelment

* Multi-choice question stock for some language is lacking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simplicity. You can pick the profile or skill you want to assess and it will make a proposal you can launch in minutes. At the end you can just trust what the systems suggest. Of course you have to review the results and use your own judgement to considert the candidates valid or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it's focused only on developers, it's been hard to implement in other departments, such as Product or Quality, who work very tightly with the developers.

There is also little capacity to deploy general rules to all the assessments, which is important when you have several process (or seniority levels) in parallel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CoderByte allowed us to pick from a broad range of question topics including calling an API which a lot of other assessment platforms did not have. The questions were up to date and could not easily be found when performing an internet search. Users are able to watch in video format what the candidates were doing on their screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the video stopped after a long period of time if the candidate reviewed the question and then came back at a later date. Additionally, down time was counted in the time it took for a candidate to complete a question which made it difficult to guage an exact time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
