In the world of copy paste finaly somewhere when I code
What do you like best about the product?
From my perspective this is a brain-muscle training. It also helped me when I started to learn GoLang. Codesignal is great as an education support tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Level of daily challenges unfortunately has recently fallen but there is still a lot of hard tasks to accomplish
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After few months of playing with simple tasks the interview challenges are something that I appreciate. So no mater what level you are, you will always find something for you
Generally I learn

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Improves skills of bored programmers, adds gamification, educates
Well organized exercises with proper test cases.
What do you like best about the product?
Well organized exercises with proper test cases. proper descriptions of the problem statement. Code terminal has various editors like vim, different theme available.
What do you dislike about the product?
there is no debug console. there should be clock for arcade mode as well. point to be earned for particle test should be mentioned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently solving daily challenges and arcade mode problems in code signal. problems are well organized by topics from easy to a hard level I have got my logical thing improved by solving these problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should try the codeSignal to improve your logical thinking for problem-solving.
CodeSignal forced me to learn more about python built-in functions at a faster pace.
What do you like best about the product?
With CodeSignal, you get different questions(a lot of them), different objectives and you can pick which path you want to use to become better at what you think you need to improve on. However, even the path you think you know a lot about has plenty of nuggets of information that will unlock new way of doing what you already know. So make sure to try everything that is offered.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say dislike, but if there could be a way to compare performance of 1) Code, 2) Individual ability compared to real world environment(entry level/junior 'xxx' at company 'yyy'), it will add an extra level of focus and engagement with the site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving all problems now, arcade(forces you get the necessary skills), tournaments, interview. I started with interview only. I got stuck on a question for a few days so I decided to see what other things are available on the site, just to take a mental break. What I realized is, each section of the site strengthens you and makes you a well rounded coder.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at what is available at CodeSignal, whether you are a complete beginner, in college, or switching languages. There are plenty of benefits, and the community has been pleasant so far for me, and my coding abilities have improved and continue to do so on a regular basis. I think you will have a good experience or even better than I did.
High School CS Practice
What do you like best about the product?
I like the bite size and varied nature of the challenges. I teach several HS CS classes and I recommend the site to students as extra practice in problem solving.
I like that you it supports so many languages.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes you can lose track of time and it can be totally addictive (let me solve just one more is a very dangerous and common problem).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding the nature and limits of the problem; followed by learning additional features from a language that I had to explore based on new types of problems.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Feedback
What do you like best about the product?
I like that programming is implemented like a game where you get rewards for your progress. I really like the badges and the fact that you can add friends and compete with them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that the t-shits have been removed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started from the beginning, with basic challenges and then as I progressed I started more and more difficult problems, in different programming languages which is a nice thing to have from a wide variety of languages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
is a cool platform where you can test your knowledge. Also it is fun for hackathons.
Perfect place to exercise you programming skills
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of exercises, the community support and the solutions sharing. You can learn a lot by evaluating multiple solutions for the same problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
Considering the interview practice area, I think the problems should be updated more frequently based on what the companies are currently asking during the interviews. This can be collected from several sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm following the path at the Interview Practice to get ready for future interviews.
