Codility Reviews & Product Details

Tests are relevents and it's really about using your skills, not just knowing academic knowledge.

You can write your code in your own IDE and past it afterward to run it.

Consultation of documentation (which is a major part of a developper's job) is allowed and encouraged.

Simple explanation of the IDE before starting a test.

Easy to use and to run your code against each test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much downsides.

It might be nice to have the option of adding custom test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout provided by the Codility along with the tour given was great. Demo test gave fair idea of the actual test and the result at the end was detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I completed the test, my test got automatically submitted. It would be bad user experience in case I had submitted brute force and wanted to come back to a problem for optimisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The IDE was easy to use, the question was well written and clear. It was easy to see the results of tests. The number of supported languages was good and I got to pick my preferred language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience the problem I took was very simple. I would like to see a more difficult problem but that's not a criticism of the platform, just the problem I tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The minimalistic and helpful user interface makes taking coding tests a very pleasant experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You could add direct links to online documentation about functions to make the job easier for the test taker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoyed the fact that it was a familiar environment when I actually get on with the coding. The UI and UX were simple and user-friendly. Usual operations such as formatting, syntax highlighting and running code were intuitive and easy. Last but not least, user onboarding was good and helpful. I did not need extra support to use the platform without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As per my experience automatic imports functionality was not there. I don't know if it was a feature but if it was there the overall experience would be much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature is that despite it being online, its very fast. Be it code compilation, testing the output. And, also seamless multiple test inputs. Its extremely easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes i have seen vague errors related to encoding, that throws me off for a few seconds while writing the solution. Although the code does runs fine in the end. Its just sometimes errors are quite distracting and takes away precious time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and the code execution time is definetly the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The result when we run the code goes beyond the screen which makes some what uncomfortable but still its not a huge problem when compared with the usability provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have options to choose from multiple languages. The feature to use your own test cases was something I used to test run my code and it was also easy to use. The problem questions were clear and concise which allowed for putting more time on the implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frankly, there's nothing much I disliked. If it's possible to allow for multiple colorschemes and vim keybindings inside the test environment, that would definitely be a huge plus. The questions could also have some more real-life similarities, but it was still good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codility was very smooth while brwosing and running your code. It gives you a nice description of the problems as well as it provides you with some examples. It has a very clean and simple interface. It doesn't feel cluttered or difficult to locate different tabs for settings. It gives you beautiful tour of the platform before it runs the test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish autocomplete feature could be added to Go in the editor. I see it is present for python and JS. Also after submitting if it could show the number of hidden test cases that your solution passed that would also be a good addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was giving bash scripting test on this and the UI was very friendly also IDE works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not have any problem so I can't say about dislike but the tour page was to long so I skipped that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
