Codility Reviews & Product Details

The team and I really like the user interface, ease of use and amount of options that Codility offer us. The support we have been getting from the Codility team is also great, fast and very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From our experience, the only thing that could get better is the offering of tests. Don't get me wrong, they have a lot going there, but our tech team still had a tough time creating a set of tasks good enough to replace the ones we were using before. But we do believe it's just a matter of time :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is possible to use your preferable programming language (there are dozens of them available). The challenges are organized in categories, so you can know what you are going to provide, which kind of tests besides the stories in the challenges are funny and they try to create a good climate.

Some challenges are really complex and the time limit turn everything more complicated. The tool itself is excellent, but the training preparations have space for improvements. Maybe an Youtube channel demonstrating how to approach and resolve one or two challenges, in more than one programming language Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Codility twice in job interviews. One test was a bit over my level for the given time frame and the other was easier. The instructions and target of the test are very clear. Everything is explained and it envelopes it's purpose successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not find anything to dislike about Codility. But there was a minimum of 40 characters for this review question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and setup tests and invite candidates. Automated test results are well formulated and easy to read. Being able to see all keystrokes on the test is a great way to see how the candidate thinks which we have found to be the most essential aspect of evaluating entry to mid-level developers.

Not much to dislike. Increased size of the library and support for more languages / platforms would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The structure of the training and practicing plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I finished the coding interview, I was not able to review the details of the results not like after practicing that I could see the running results of all test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows me to accurately dive deeper into candidates level of understanding for various technical roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feedback could also be tailored to less tech savvy individuals. I imagine recruiters, hiring managers, and HR departments who conduct these assessments aren't all technical individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple it is to create effective challenges for potential candidates. I also like the fact that I am able to see the steps that a candidate took when attempting to solve the problem. I like using the results as a discussion point in the interview. It would be nice if we were able to export the steps captures by the test so that we could ask questions about each of the attempts in the thought process of the developer.

I dislike the fact that you cant modify the time allocated to each question. (at least not that I could find.) I also would prefer to - at times - add additional questions to the exams, where codility suggests that we do not exceed a suggested time limit. If we were able to alter the time allotment to a more accurate period to time, it would allow for us to add more questions to better qualify a candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy to use and set up. Provides assessment which non-technical people can review.

Does exactly what you expect and does it well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fairly limited in it's testing capability, restricted to what they have setup and to fairly artificial environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codility has challenging tasks to complete with different difficulty levels suitable for beginner programmers as well as experienced one. There is nice and clear explanation at the beginning of the challenge and challenges have timer, which is very useful for getting experience before doing real testing for a job.

Codility doesn't have a code completion for their code editor, which would be very helpful if person doesn't remember, for example exact syntax or import package. Most modern IDE's have this feature build in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interface and results. However, it is not base on reality that we developers create projects and not solve fancy computer science quizzes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the way you test developers by using computer science quizzes. Professional developers should be tested by using project base tasks. Because this is what we do! Developers makes projects all the time and not solve computer science fancy quizzes. Projects should be based on the requirements of your clients/business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
