I took a Woven assessment as part of a job interview. As a candidate, I thought Woven was more transparent and respectful of my time than other interview platforms. Because I get human feedback from my attempt, it makes me feel like the company values my personal growth. It seems that they can accommodate a much wider array of assessments than typical LeetCode-style algorithm problems. My tasks were a written response after diagnosing a bug, and writing tests for a pre-existing code block (using a typical TypeScript framework).
Using alternatives like CodeSignal and HackerRank, it feels like "if I don't get maximum points, I've wasted an hour of my life", while with Woven I feel much less pressure and anxiety (even if the problems are of comparable difficulty)
They claim to be able to detect when candidates abuse AI tools using a different, potentially more accurate method than other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I thought it was odd that the interviewee interface defaulted to the test results instead of the problem description. I certainly need to see the instructions before I can complete the task.
There was a noticeable delay between requesting tests be ran and the tests actually running, presumably so the backend could spin up a container. I wonder if integrating a solution like WebContainers would help here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
