Various approaches to improve coding skills
What do you like best about the product?
I tried other similar platforms, but none of them stuck with me more than two days. Tasks were, more less, the same all over, but the whole experience with CodeSignal was much better when compared to others. I like CS UI, convenient code testing, level progression by scoring experience points and earning badges along the way.
Variety of the approaches is also very important. When Arcade Levels became too hard, I switched to Challenges. When I progressed further, I switched to Interview Practice, then to Company Challenges and then to real "code fights" with other user on Tournaments.
It is very significant that you can compare solutions with the CS Community. One can really learn a lot that way and I think it brought me to another level.

What do you dislike about the product?
It happens from time to time that some user generated challenge has a poor task description, which prolongs solving time for those tasks. I don't really see this to be a CS fault and I can always find plenty of other tasks for solving.
One of the great incentives was the CS Store where I could buy CS branded t-shirt with earned experience points. Unfortunately, this "perk" is not available any longer, but I am lucky that I got mine on time which I am proudly wearing on my job interviews.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I joined CodeSignal because I needed proficiency and more coding experience than I already had. I hopped that it would prepare me for coding interviews that would earn me a better coding job. I started slow with one or two functions in a few days, than as I got "hooked" I had to complete one Arcade level per day. This is when I started to notice a real improvement.
Now, I don't spend that much time solving tasks. I still start my day with a Daily Challenge as a part of my daily routine to "warm" me up for work tasks.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommended it before and I intend to recommend CS in the future as a one of the tools in a online tool-set available for anyone who intends to improve coding skills. There is only so much you can learn from courses. The real advancements come by working on real projects and CS platform is maybe a next best thing.
Funniest programming resource
What do you like best about the product?
Interview practice is my best. Also must say about UI and IDE, they are just awesome!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to have more asymptotic-dependent tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm trying to solve everything, but often I just haven't enought time for it. At the first point I'm gonna finish with arcede tasks.
Extremely useful platform
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is quite engaging. The idea with daily challenges and tournaments is awesome. I really like the interview preparation section. I think it is really useful for recap and training. This is how I started using the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not think that there is something that I actually dislike. But I have a few recommendations. I think that the introductory section can be really useful for new starters. There is one for Python, which is great. I also think that a similar section for some Statistics and ML concepts would be really helpful. Sometimes daily challenges are extremely easy, probably tasks like using just one condition check should be filtered out, otherwise I think the idea with the challenge is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started with the interview preparation section. Now I am mostly solving daily challenges or trying to improve my speed with the tournaments.
The best coding challenges platform I have tried
What do you like best about the product?
Nice problems description, too many kinds of challenges depending on the level of programmer.
A very nice editor.
A very nice editor.
What do you dislike about the product?
From my point of view, it would be better if there are some popular solution for each problem with detail explanation about time or space complexity just like LeetCode website did.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm looking into "multiplicationTable" in Academy - Python problems.
Those problems in this course help me learn and practice a lot about python programming.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, this is the awesome platform to help user practice and keep your programming skills sharp.
Good for Learning
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about CodeSignal is the path to learn about different types of problems. I highly recommend it for getting warmed up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the solutions will not work in all languages - I've found a number of problems for which JavaScript cannot complete the test cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I learned how to solve problems for interviews using CodeSignal's learning paths. I recommend it for anyone who wants a nicer interface than Leetcode.
great platform, sometimes interesting challenges
What do you like best about the product?
The website is great, it is very easy to try out solutions, sometimes there are interesting challenges and often possible to learn even from one liner solutions
What do you dislike about the product?
unfortunately there are too many no brain exercises
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
practicing java coding, it helps to quickly find solutions for simple tasks, but unfortunately the interesting challenges are rare.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
the quality of challenges should be increased, time ago everybody could send in tasks and many of them were real challenges, unfortunately there are less and less such task as it is not taken from user submissions any more
Excellent for interview training
What do you like best about the product?
The increasing difficulty of questions in both arcade more and interview challenges.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more daily questions on non-algorithmic coding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems I mainly solve are algorithmic. I have been able to think and solve any problem at a higher speed and with greater accuracy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used it only for practice, so I do not know it's other applications very well.
A great preparation for interviewing - and it is free!?
What do you like best about the product?
There is a huge amount of material on this site and I though that eventually I would have to pay for it. But no - it is free and it is very high quality. How do they do it? I gained a lot of confidence with the interview process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see more explanations on solutions and various types of solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm doing the Interview Prep - I've done almost every single problem. I hope that this will prepare me for my interviews.
The BEST website to practice competitive programming

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using CodeSignal for more than a year to prepare for my job interviews. It helped me build my necessary skills. Participating in tournaments helped me acquire that speed to crack online tests. Plus the arcade problems are very useful for one's prep.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend companies to use CodeSignal platform for selecting candidates for software dev as it provides a comprehensive analysis to distinguish every candidate and to select the most suitable one.
Great platform for newbies!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the challenges daily as well as the community along with it! I learned a ton from viewing previous solutions as well as your very own Zero_Cool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lack of beginner-friendly content. I am a student still, and it was hard for me to catch up on some concepts. That being said, the example problems were hard to learn from. I managed, but the beginner section is anything but beginner!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Codesignal has not impacted my work because I am still a student! :)

Study up BEFORE joining so you are not left in the dust!
