"Code challenge as part of interview process for Senior Software Engineer position"
What do you like best about Codility?

It supports a majority of the keyboard shortcuts in my editor of choice, VSCode. So it's a very natural experience to work in the online IDE. The exercises are well designed and well documented; there's very little ambiguity in the expectation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

I like being able to provide my own test inputs, but the process of running the tests was a little opaque. I'd like to be able to define my expected outputs, but it wasn't clear to me whether I could and if so, how. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can see selection of code from candidate, I can see code changes in realtime, I can see when someone has joined. I can invite multiple people to join. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

That I have to remember to generate a URL before every interview.

That I have to click start interview everytime.

"Codility never fails to deliver with interviewing experience"
What do you like best about Codility?

The best part about codility is it never had down time. The user interface, the language options, the description UI is all amazing and user friendly. Definitely recommend everyone to start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

It would have been better if codility had access to everyone and not just for organizations. at least I think it only for organizations, may be I am wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for quickly and neutrally assessing candidate strength ahead of full interview rounds"
What do you like best about Codility?

Ease of use, clarity of results, comparability and neutral assessment of candidates. Simply put: If someone claims they used Python in the past, I can check whether their level is advanced, mid, or basic (I wouldn't say that it goes beyond that) but that's already something and the ease of use is great. I am a non-techie who is sometimes recruiting techies, and before using Codility I had to annoy some techies to ask them for their opinion, which they did well but their approach may have been less structured and more than that, it took them enormous amounts of time to design the tasks and analyse the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

What is not nice about Codility is that it is a tool that is really made for techies, so as a business manager, I still sometimes don't understand the result fully. I would love to see even more dumbed-down comments on where people excelled and where they struggled, and I think I am probably not the only one as this tool is specifically for recruiting, so I think any recruiter with no deeper tech background would have the same issue.

"Good Problem Statements, Unique way descibring"
What do you like best about Codility?

Codility helps describe problems in unique way so that you can help understand the problems and then map those problems into specific category, either DP or backtracking or two pointers etc. Customer support is also too good. and ease of use and change of language are all too good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

Some problems have descriptions longer than required and consumes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for evaluating software engineering candidates."
What do you like best about Codility?

Codility makes it easy to quickly provide technical interview questions to candidates. I like using the playback features so I can see how a candidate attacked a problem. They also have features that help determine if the candidate plagerized their answer and if they do suspect plagerism, the tool guides you through why it suspects it so you can determine on your own.

When I had problems logging in after they changed our company to Okta, their customer support was very quick to resolve the issue. They've also actively requested my feedback on features and when I pointed out things I found annoying they were quick to show me workarounds that made the tool even easier to use.

Codility saves me time in the interview process by giving me confidence in moving forward with bringing a candidate in for a panel interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

When using any tool like Codility, you still run the risk of not being 100% sure it is the candidate sitting there on their own without help completing the assesment. They could have all of their friends sitting around them helping them complete the task and we'd have no way of knowing.

I try to navigate this by later asking them to explain why they made certain choices in their solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent system to streamline your recruitment process"
What do you like best about Codility?

The great catalog of existing tests, well categorized and easy to use. Setting up a testscenario or a live interview is simple. It integrates with many TA systems and makes inviting candidates a breeze.

Customer support is excellent and responsive. The ability to create your own custom tests is great for more specific roles. Overall, it has everything you could ever need, and more, to do technical assessments of candidates smoothly and efficiantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

Hard to say as I feel it is top of the pack when it comes to these types of systems. If anything, it could be helpful to have access to the optimal solutions for the tests, just to be able to compare to some of the solutions committed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I am greatly surprised by all the interest in person's knowledge before scheduling a call with him"
What do you like best about Codility?

I like best that you get a coding question to defend your knowledge and to show what you know to others through real-life situation exam Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

I would love to attach more files than only my resume, for example, my IELTS test report form and so on...

Also, there would be a big plus if a listing of all possible functions when you write a dot next to an object is added Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I utilized Codility to sharpen my problem-solving abilities and get ready for coding interviews."
What do you like best about Codility?

What I appreciate best about Codility is its real-world coding challenges and the emphasis on developing clean, efficient code. The platform is an excellent way to prepare for technical interviews since it emphasizes on both correctness and performance, which helps with problem-solving under time constraints. Continuous learning and skill improvement are made possible by the thorough test case analysis and immediate feedback. Furthermore, the challenges' variety of difficulty accommodates programmers of all skill levels, making it suitable for both novices and experts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

The tight deadlines on some coding challenges are one feature of Codility that I find annoying. It can be a little difficult to attempt to assure both accuracy and efficiency in the answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
