It's similar to other platforms but the UI is more exciting. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** I didn't use the platform for long enough to experience anything that would deter me from continuing to use the platform. If there was more visual stimulation on the platform I'd be more incentivized to be active on a more frequent basis. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** CodeSignal is helping me sharpen my coding problem solving skills as I prepare for interviews. I'm able to track my progress developing my skills which has helped me feel confident going into interviews. ### 35.

The ide is also super clean and I like that let's me jump across questions but keeps track of which has been submitted. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** I don't think that the scoring is easy to interpret in a way that helps you program better as it seems that you can increase your scoring by merely following some strategic guidelines. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use the practice interview questions to prepare for interviews and that has helped me pinpoint both areas of strength and weaknesses. This allows craft strategic learning plans. ### 37. Quality Assessment **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Binit k. | Student, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2022 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** CodeSignal is complete platform that not only helps you with learning and getting confidence on programming questions, but also the assessments that you take on platform consists of quality questions. One think I like about the platform is the proctored assesment that actually ensures that the candidate has done all the questions by himself unlike HackerRank and other. It helps reducing the competition for deserving candidates. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** Most of the practice questions are similar to Elements of Programming Interview book that I already solved. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** CodeSignal is the only platform that do proctored (camera, screen recording and microphone) coding assessment.

I think it is a huge time save for interviewing and adding to a holistic review of candidates. ### 39.

Good UX **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David H. | Frontend Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2023 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** I like how each stage of the test is laid out. And the test suites are pretty on spot. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** The compiler sometimes has issues when it comes to native JS APIs; I faced issues using Promise.all related features. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's clearer to have a problem layout in words and examples than a person saying it in words. ### 43. Best Solution for Technical Screening **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sumit N. | Lead Quality Engineering , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2022 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** CodeSignal addresses the problem with present-day recuitment challenges. Too much of the bandwidth goes into interviewing candidates who are a complete misfit for the role. For high-volume recruitment/bulk engineer hiring needs, it serves as a perfect Pre-screening tool, freeing out the time and bandwidth of Engineering talent who would have otherwise taken multiple interview rounds. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** It doesn't have a code simulator for certain niche hiring like OIPA/Mainframe Systems/Performance Engineering Specialist etc. The fact that some of the test cases are hidden makes it hard for candidates to know if their code is complete and optimized and handles all edge cases or not. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is freeing up time for Engineering talent to focus on actual business projects rather than spending time with below-par / nonsuitable candidates. Also, it provides a good variety of Cloud IDEs which are language and framework specific. ### 44. Codesignal review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pascal N. | Graduate Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2022 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** I like that it is algorithmic and you can send past scores. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** That sometimes if you choose to take the test for a particular company, that score will be sent to all the other companies requesting test scores. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is helping me become a better software engineer. ### 45. A great standard that assesses multiple key qualities of a candidate. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2022 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** I enjoy the post-test analytics the most. Additionally, the user interface is clean and pristine. There is also an option for students to use the practice problems to prepare for their OAs. Lastly, being able to share tests with multiple companies is a great idea. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** I think the language used by CodeSignal should be clearer. When selecting wether to share a test or retake it should make it clear what you are choosing. Other than that I have no major gripes. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Code signal offers a standard for computer science online assessments. I imagine this saves corporations money on creating their own tests but it also helps students to know what their test will be like and how to prepare for it. ### 46. Smooth and reliable **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hardik S. | ML engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2023 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** It's very smooth. I like the option of sharing your previous score . Makes life easy cuz you dont have to give the test again and again. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** I dislike the 14 days thing. I had to share bad scores due to that. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making giving online assessments easy ### 47. Interview Experience - Top class **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2023 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** Easy to use platform, which is intuitive to code and evaluate. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** There is a slight learning curve compated to other platforms **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was able to communicate my technical skills well without the interviewer having to second guess my knowledge ### 48. Falls short of "Minimum Viable Product" **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2022 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** Not a ton, honestly. It's hard to think of nice things to say. I guess it supports a lot of languages. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** There's a shared change history between all participants, meaning undo and redo can undo or redo others' changes. This is definitely an MVP feature. The UI is confusing. Several languages fail to compile. Several languages are missing key libraries. Several languages use "out of the box" integrations with bizarre hacks to simulate "files", but don't adjust linters accordingly, meaning compiler errors become puzzles for interviewers and candidates to solve together. I apologize to candidates about CodeSignal's shortcomings 2-3 times per interview. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's trying to compete with CoderPad, but it's an overengineered solution that offers nothing extra at the expense of confusion and bugs. It doesn't really benefit me, because everything it does other companies do better. **Official Response from Brian Benner:** > Hi, we are so sorry to hear that your experience with CodeSignal has not met your expectations.

Code Signal platform at its best and in various levels! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sanika K. | student, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2022 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** Codesignal is a good platform for online assessments and it has a great user friendly interface! There are questions in various levels and it is much better than its competitiors. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** Codesignal could better improve on its questions level. There were no answers for few questions and they were very hard. The score also reduces on hitting the run all test cases button. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves the probelms of giving the companies benefit of giving online assessment to the applicants. I am being more productive after using this and it has improved my coding skills. ### 50. Incomplete answers do not get partial credit **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022 **What do you like best about CodeSignal?** Code signal's online IDE is good but barebones at best. It's okay for a testing environment. The rest of the environment is smooth and easy to navigate. The difficulty of the questions are as expected. **What do you dislike about CodeSignal?** I don't like how incomplete answers do not reward any partial credit. While I do understand to some extent, I think that simply putting in effort should also be rewarded. I was very close to completing a question, but because I didn't format my output I was rewarded zero points for the question. **What problems is CodeSignal solving and how is that benefiting you?** CodeSignal is solving the problem of applying to tech jobs and allowing me to demonstrate my skills; at least, in theory. In practice these questions have very little resemblance to the kind of work that will be expected of me. ## CodeSignal Discussions - [How do I vet candidates effectively using codesignal?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/24190-how-do-i-vet-candidates-effectively-using-codesignal) -
