I like the real-world, job-relevant assessment format. It allowed me to showcase practical problem-solving skills rather than just answering theoretical questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limited and restricted development environment made it challenging to fully implement and test solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 most challenging thing about modern tech interviews is the format in which they assess you being so heavily skewed towards data structures and algorithms, which no engineer uses on a daily basis unless they are actively interviewing.

Woven gives you a way to show what you can actually do as an engineering professional, so you are assessed on your merit and not on your memorization skills. With their assessments, I feel confident in my ability to demonstrate my value to an employer without having to cram study DS and A while maintaining a full time job. It makes me feel like I am actually putting all I am capable of towards the interview process, so whether I get an offer or not, I can feel like the employer actually got to see my skills and judge the fit on that.

I will always prefer a Woven assessment to any other style, and feel the are successfully fixing the broken engineering interview system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do feel some of the time boxed assignments are too short for the scope of the ask. Also, I wish some of the feedback around hidden tests was more detailed. And on the feedback, it would be cool if they had references for things you were weak on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was far more intuitive than, say, LeetCode. There was plenty of description and direction, which helped fully explain the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I would say is the timing is a bit short I spent quite a bit of time reading, maybe implementing a no timed reading portion which the page cannot be changed, then allowing to start the assessment would be a good solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Woven makes technical assessments feel much more structured and fair compared to traditional interviews. I really like how the challenges focus on real-world engineering thinking instead of just trivia questions. The interface is simple to use, and the instructions for each task are clear, which helps reduce stress during timed exercises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the instructions can feel a bit intimidating at first because they emphasize time limits and restrictions heavily. It would be nice if there were more examples or practice modes before starting real challenges. Also, navigating between different challenge sections could be slightly smoother.

I like that during my Test with Woven for a Job everything was Spelt out properly and it made it clear and precise to solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was extremely satisfied and do not dislike anything about Woven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The testing experience was amazing it was so close to the real world experience and I would highly recommend all the agnecies and tech world to use such approach which is closer to the real world. UI/UX of the test as amazing, like any other technical testing environment, performance was also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inital website with details of the tests could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well-described tasks. Good and quick feedback after test submission. They have a combination of auto-scoring and human review. Which is great. And the tool (code editor + workspace) is really comfortable to use. And a good UX on the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Didn't feel any disappointment or confusion during the test Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the format. It feels much closer to real engineering work compared to typical algorithm assessments.

The scenarios require practical debugging, system thinking, and clear communication, which better reflects real production environments.

Overall it was a thoughtful and engaging assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing significant. The experience was smooth overall. If anything, clearer time expectations for each scenario could help candidates manage their pace even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still enjoying the platform, the problems feel authentic and relevant to real backend work. It doesn't feel like abstract puzzles; it mirrors the kind of thinking you'd apply on the job. That consistency has kept the experience valuable over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing significant to flag. The experience has been smooth, and the difficulty curve feels appropriate. Would love to see more problems covering distributed systems or async workflows, but that's more of a wishlist than a complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
