Like all the other online assessments but better...
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the platform gives feedback (the score) at the end of the assessment
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it allowed for bigger time limit (ie. solution correct, but above time limit) for reduced points
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did an online assessment for a company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As an interviewee, I was immediately familiar with the platform - no break in period needed.
Great place to practice before interview and to learn new languages
What do you like best about the product?
I like interview preparation materials. I like tournaments. I like Arcade - that's a great place to learn basics of new languages. I like the user experience of CodeSignal website. I also found a job through Code Signal and I enjoyed receiving a gift box from them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish CodeSignal had contests. Given how good their UI is, I would prefer them over other similar websites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CodeSignal helped to find better place to work.
Best Experience with Online tests using CodeSignal
What do you like best about the product?
CodeSignal has hand down the best UI in the market. The IDE is so catchy that once you get used to it, you will hate going to other websites. Google only has the IDE that comes closer to Its IDE in the font and style department. Also from preparedness point of view, the practice problems from arcade and daily challenges are very interesting to solve and are very insightful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike will be harsh. What I would have appreciated much are:
-> A bit less bright highlights. The highlights stands out very much in the IDE. e.g., If I am at an opening bracket in the IDE, the closing bracket should highlight, but not as much as to distract my attention.
-> A bit more humane compiler. When debugging, the compiler seems to be trying to help, but it should be trying hard:).
-> A bit less JavaScript heavy pages. It causes visible lagging in page load. Or maybe the images need to be converted to base 64, or too much external calls needs to be avoided.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If am doing single line programs using complex logic on CodeSignal. Alongside I am doing interview preparation. And I am glad that it's going in a good way. CodeSignal has helped me think fast and implement even faster and their nice segregation of questions into appropriate buckets makes life easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CodeSignal is a good option to consider. But first go on for a trial and then evaluate according to your requirements. If you find it good enough, go for it.
Very good.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that based on the language, there are suggestions for the function you're trying to write.
What do you dislike about the product?
None that I can think of. I enjoy using it for interviews and testing myself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made me improve my technical interview skills and being able to vocalize my thoughts before coding.
Software Developer
What do you like best about the product?
The simple design interface, which is similar to what I have been using.
What do you dislike about the product?
The whole UI is clear and straightforward. I guess the test case can have some more improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coding problem in Python. It is easy reading and debugging, especially with the naming things.
Incredible platform for candidates testing
What do you like best about the product?
Tests were very interesting and robustly covered the topic i was tested for
What do you dislike about the product?
Don't really have anything, process was smooth
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
programming skills tests
Code review great options
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the challenges. There were a lot of them and different than found in other sites. I think gamifying the process is kind of useful. But to a certain degree. You also need to be constantly gauging whether the level of the user and offer better questions depending on the level of the user. If I have been using the platform a while I feel the questions become kind of samey, that is they look alike after a while, so having a stream of new questions is very important.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the coding platform could be a little better. Timing could be improved a lot more because time keeps running even when I am not using the website. This makes my score kind of incorrect. The timing should stop when stopped. And the score should be counted against people who are not using. Some of the working of the problems are not correct as well so there needs to be more scrutiny. The test cases should be more evident as to when a test case fails. It seems that challenges are not related to anything. There are names associated with them about they don't necessary have any connection with each other. Also it doesn't seem that the challenge groups are connected to difficulty.
The layout of the site is a little disorienting it needs to be more focuses, less graphics and more simple text options. The coloring makes it too disorienting, since they don't mean much by themselves. You could do better by proving a simple TOC and have explanation as to what happens after each of the options are chosen. It is far too busy right now. As coders this is a big distraction and makes one think that it is for a younger audience. As I mentioned above gamefying is a interesting concept but I think the awards are not that great. That is, it is not enough motivation to try other challenges in the site.
Another big minus for the site is that I cannot revisit my old solutions this is a must because one might want to figure out what was done before and maybe try different ways of solving the same problems. This is not possible currently.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly through the tracks given I like the challenges. I think that giving a goal to the person is great. It keeps the user motivated and challenged. I think the level of difficulty could be improved however. Sometimes the difficult just goes easy all of a sudden and then there are not enough harder or more complex problems.
I am mostly checking out what kind of problems code signal gives, because there isn't a good categorization it is hard for me to figure out if it covers enough breath. So I don't think that it is a benefit, but more something that must be changed. Sometimes it is good to have ad hoc problems i.e. some that cannot be easily categorized.

Good experience
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy and intuitive. Feels like a game
What do you dislike about the product?
Not progressive, I wish easier questions were at beginning and harder later
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving new algorithms
Recommendations to others considering the product:
easy and fun to use
Coder friendly environment
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very easy to adapt to and the testing environment is great and reliable too. It's easy to read through things unlike some other interfaces.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. I guess running of code could be faster but it's not bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Interviewing - takes no time to start with a question as an interviewee and makes life easier and quick for interviewer
One of the best platforms for coding tests and interview prep
What do you like best about the product?
The most I like is its game-like interface that walks you through coding interviews by resolving easy yet relevant problems. The reward system keeps me motivated and makes me feel like I'm making a real progress and at the same time I can compare my self with my friends. Some problems give the chance to the interviewee to explain their thought in a structured way and get to better solutions. I consider very useful the test cases in every problem since it is a good way to notice bugs and failures. Codesignal is quite a useful and intuitive tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think CodeSignal could be better if it had official tutorials/guides to understand better the interview process as well as some tips on softskills and another topics to learn how to do well on interviews beyond coding. I think it would be better if the IDE provided some additional feedback or stats about the problems when it's solved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me to understand better the Python programming language and how to communicate my ideas when coding in an interview. By using Codesignal I learnt how to get to solutions by making iterative improvements to my code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keeps practicing in CodeSignal and complementing with books and tutorials.
