HackerRank is equipped with all the features you'd need for the interview and works very reliably. That is the thing I like the most about HackerRank.
The layout, code highlighting, support for programming languages to choose from, the execution engine, everything has always worked well.
Follow mode and pair-programming works well as well and I've had fun using it. I can jump into the interviewee's code and work alongside them, which is super nice.
Mentioned before, but I'd like to highlight that the platform has everything that an interviewer would expect. A questions library, different logins for interviewers and interviewee, lobby and interviewer controls, coding tool, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI has a bit of a learning curve attached to it. But if you use it for a couple of times, it becomes easy to use. Specifically the consequence of an action is not clear enough is what i felt. For example, when i click on the 'Use' button on a question from the question bank, what exactly happens? does the interview start? But again, these are not prevailing issues, get addressed once you use the platform enough.
One other issue is that the UI seems a bit busy, but cannot complain about it since that is what gives the sense of the platform being powerful. If there was a way to present everything in a more "aerated" way, it would be cool, but not a dealbreaker if not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
