HackerRank for Developers Reviews & Product Details

thinking on the correct way for how to figure out about problems and how to solve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

unclear documentation for new users. major of my friends dislike and discontinued use it because found it hard to explain how to solve the code problems. I am personally found the same problem with SQL train-path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are tons of things I like about Hackerrank like its auto code completion feature while practicing some questions. Navigate between different questions is very easy. Amazing questions which surely improve your problem solving skills. Beautiful UI with best responsiveness is just like toppings on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I dislike is some questions in some company challenge are repeated so it is easy for anyone to google them and get the solution. Overall the experience is amazing with the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked almost everything about the platform. It has great tutorials, focused test problems that test aspects of your programming knowledge and helps you build your skills one piece at a time and it never felt overwhelming. HackerRank also has a great community of people who will help you out if you ever get stuck somewhere. It also has a leader board, which helps you track your progress with respect to other programmers and feels very rewarding. And all of your hard work can be seen by people looking to hire someone. You can also get certified by giving small 1.5 hour test which should be a breeze if you know what you're doing and all of this is for free, the only investment that you need to make is with your time and not your wallet.

Only the fact that there need to be more certifications. I feel that there can be more fields to certify in and it may be implemented in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the idea of the new certifications programme in Hackerrank. Even the current set of skills being targeted by the programme is great and expansive. The number of learning tracks are large in number and cover mostly all domains in standard competitive programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a number of features that need to be rectified OR some very specific enhancements should be done:

- If a problem statement needs to be rectified and a concerned edit is suggested, the edit is never reviewed or it takes a long time to do so. For e.g. a problem edit which I gave about two months ago is still pending.

- Complete dark mode should be there to ease the strain on eyes

- There should be more ways to spend Hackos earned as opposed to only spending them on test cases

- A problem/contest creator should not be awarded Hackos for solving his/her own problems in/during a contest

- Expansive features available to companies and recruiters should be made available to standard users as well (this could w.r.t the ranking of the users. For e.g. someone ranked only 3000 and better can get to use XYZ feature available to only a company or recruiter)

- More expansive editorials with proper diagramming and progressive approach Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way the questions are asked and help people develop their skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. There's nothing on the website that can be disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hacker rank helps new CS students to learn how competitive programming works. It helps in learning through programming assignments and very good live competitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Answers for language proficiency are available through google search. So anyone can simply copy and paste them. Python IDE is irritating sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most similar platforms try to make the problem statement convoluted rather than think of making a clearly stated problem with a difficult solution. In HackerRank, I really like that the problems are clearly explained and put in a practical context. The key to the solution can be anywhere between, the structure of the input, the nature of the output or simply how to combine multiple data structures / algorithms to get a single solution.

In a few instances, Machine Learning problems did not work correctly though the solution is correct. This happened in a handful of occasions though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was challenged sometimes with a lot of hidden test cases. and I liked it most because challenges are accepted. Since the Hackerrank is the first platform to be used in my life to practice coding, It plays a big role in my preparation towards the coding interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some set of problems are uninteresting and less challenged are dislikeable. and platform like leetcode provides the optimal solution for the problems, such that after solving a problem by ourself , then we can compare our optimality with the best case optimalities. Then the leaning happens. But every other features are great in hackerrank. It is the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use HackerRank as a developer and it is is a pretty good place to go practice if your learning a new language or to refresh your memory on aspects of algorithms you may not have used in a while. The certification tests they provide are pretty neat and unique, I have mine displayed on my LinkedIn profile. I like that each problem has it's own dedicated discussion forum where people can discuss and ask questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support for newer languages like Go and Kotlin are seriously lacking, and I use other sites to practice with these languages. They no longer seem to do coding competitions, which was the funnest part of the site in my opinion. Since they stopped competitions I hardly use HackerRank and spend most of my time coding on platforms like CodinGame. In the discussion forums people seem to be encouraged to post their solutions, which kind of defeats the purpose. These discussion forums are the only place to interact with other users of the platform, so it's not so much of community, at least not like other similar sites where you really get to know other users.

Actually, the most amazing thing about HackerRank is that it gives you an awesome set of practice questions on every topic of programming so that you can apply your coding skills in different ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, there is nothing to dislike about HackerRank honestly, but if I had to mention one thing, I would like them to add something like code wars, where we can compete with an opponent in realtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
