Recommendations to others considering HackerRank for Developers:
If you are looking for a place to improve your coding/scripting skills it's the right place to go. I highly recommend HackerRank for students and the IT field workers. It has a lot of good problems and solutions which will help you to get better in your field. Try to solve all problems yourself but you are really stuck then there are always solutions of a thousand other users. It has a good interview screening exams also, which will help to check your candidate's coding/scripting skills. Recently most employers started doing an assessment of candidates' skills using these types of platforms, so it's becoming a very important part of the interview preparation.

What problems is HackerRank for Developers solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to not forget the scripting skills I have. I solve problems there when I feel that I need some practice in scripting. employers can use it to assess their candidates. It's mostly for demonstrating your skills by solving problems though, it's not really set up to teach new concepts. But they do have some tutorials and you can learn from looking at solutions. Programming isn't all about solving these little challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
