I have participated in technical interviews with companies that primarily emphasize mathematical problem-solving skills and familiarity with algorithms. As a senior software engineer, I frequently need to revisit topics I haven't used since college, even when applying for experienced roles. I believe that focusing on "Work Simulations" is a much better approach, as it demonstrates that I am truly capable of performing the tasks required in the job description, rather than just being theoretically qualified.

I understand that the challenge time constraints level the playing field, but I wish I was able to read through the question prompt before the timer starts. Often it took me 5-10 minutes to fully read and understand the prompt, but the challenge would only give me 20-30 minutes to complete it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interview experience is generally practical and resembles real life on the job more than leetcode style interviews. This is definitely much more realistic than typical coding problems which repeat the same problems throughout industry. However, the very small window of time to complete each task is very unrealistic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would really appreciate a debugging solution with breakpoints. I would also appreciate more time to finish a quality response. I am a senior engineer with 9 years and I cannot complete the coding assessment how does that make sense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like their tech skills test process.

The test challenges are thoroughly designed to evaluate how well a developer can perform in an actual working environment.

The assigned test deadlines are also very reasonable, though if you don’t stay focused, you will likely miss the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think they could implement an alert system in their test for when the time limit is near.

On the first question, I missed the time limit because I was so focused on the investigation, and I didn’t have enough time to compose my answers properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Woven is straightforward to use with a clean and intuitive interface, which made my assessment experience smooth and stress-free. The ease of implementation stood out since everything ran directly in the browser without extra setup, making it simple to get started. Their customer support was responsive, with clear instructions and timely emails that guided me through the process. While I only used it once for my own assessment, I can see how it would be valuable for frequent use in hiring pipelines. The platform has the core features needed to assess real-world skills and integrates seamlessly into the company's hiring workflow, so I never had to juggle multiple tools.

Some of the assessment questions felt a bit generic, and the platform doesn't have as many advanced features as larger assessment tools. Also, integration with other tools could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was really easy to start. I clicked the link and the test just opened without any setup. The layout is simple, nothing confusing, and the tasks felt close to the kind of quick debugging you run into when working on a school project or a small feature. It did not feel like a long or heavy assignment, which I appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the prompts felt a bit unclear, and there were a couple moments where I was not totally sure what direction they wanted. The feedback afterward was also pretty light, so it was hard to tell exactly what I missed. It would help to see a little more detail so you know what to improve for next time.

I took a Woven assessment as part of a job interview and had a great experience. I like Woven's inclusive and innovative approach. It goes beyond traditional live coding and instead presents an environment that reflects how tech professionals actually work. It allowed me to research syntax and draw inspiration from community-driven solutions--just like I would in a real analyst role. The customer service is also amazing because they personally reach out to you and answer your questions. The team also provided excellent resources to prepare--both technically and in terms of getting comfortable with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had some quirks to work through as I moved my code from my preferred tool to the assessment tool. In my case, I didn't catch the differences in capitalization of column titles when importing csv into my Jupyter notebook versus the Woven platform. That made ease of use a bit difficult.

I really appreciated the concept and the thoughtful structure of the assessment. The prep guide and the instructions given in advance helped me set my expectations and prepare effectively. This approach encouraged me to concentrate on developing my skills rather than simply memorizing solutions to specific problems.

The scenarios were also great real-world simulations rather than abstract puzzles that online assessments often use to have.

I would like to give more assessments like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The coding environment did not feel as seamless as I would expect from an assessment platform. Additionally, the tests seemed to run somewhat slowly.

Customer Support didn't reply to the mails I have been making regarding clarifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was genuinely impressed by the way Woven organized the technical interview. The problems presented were practical and closely resembled real-world engineering challenges, rather than the typical leetcode or hackerrank exercises. The platform itself made it straightforward to write, run, and test my code. I also appreciated the clear instructions, the intuitive interface, and how the assessment evaluated both my problem-solving abilities and communication skills. Overall, it was one of the most engaging and fair technical interviews I have experienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience, though there are a few areas that could use improvement. For example, the timer in the top right corner currently tracks the total time, but it would be more helpful if it could show the time remaining for each individual question instead.

I completed a Woven assessment as part of a job interview. The assessment was clear and relevant, giving candidates the opportunity to demonstrate their real-world skills instead of just solving puzzles. It is easy to use, well-organized, and helps make the interview process feel more approachable. Overall, the experience left me feeling confident and respected as a candidate.

There’s not much I would change. I found the Woven interface to be mostly clean and straightforward. However, when it came to the Architectural Layer Brainstorming challenge format, I felt that the strict time constraint combined with the high degree of context fragmentation made the experience less than ideal.

It was easy to use. I completed the test in two steps. The first step was a system design exercise, which really surprised me! It was the first time I had seen that, and I found it very clever. It was also really well implemented. I also received an email from customer support, which was helpful in explaining how to use the tool. It was the first time I used it, and I hope to use it with higher frequency! It was also easy to integrate with the company I was applying for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I also loved the coding exercise, the second step of the selection process. I think the scope of the test could be a bit smaller—but not much. It would still be a very effective selection tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
