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.
Best Code Practicing Platform
What do you like best about the product?
CodeSignal has a very intuitive UI which can help beginners to practice and advance easily. It has arcade mode, that's like a story mode which opens up each level once the previous questions are completed. This unlocking feature helps user to do more practice. Not only this but small 10 minute tourney s helps user to perform better as user feels competitive and keeps on practicing more. CodeSignal also have short program for Company Interviews and question s ranging from easy to medium to hard. In a nutshell, CodeSignal has done a wonderful job in making code practicing interesting, intuitive and fun to learn and practice. The questions target to develop users skill one by one and one can always use those skills sharpened to solve larger problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is close to perfect. Even the friends feature is very interesting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do everything as I am preparing for company interviews, I use arcade, tourney, company tests, everyday question.
Great resource for algorithm practice
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using CodeSignal for a few months now and I've really enjoyed my time with it. It's UI is much better than Leetcode, Hackerrank, and other competitors. I like how it starts out fairly easy, but gets progressively hard. I also like to switch between the Arcade section for general questions and the Interview Prep section which gives real world interview questions from many tech companies. And after solving a question, I love to peruse the highest rated community answers to learn from much better coders than me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The weekly challenges are filled with many copy/paste questions, and most can be easily solved in seconds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a self taught developer, my algorithm and data structure skills were very weak, but by using CodeSignal I definitely see an improvement. For the price of free, CodeSignal has without a doubt been my favorite resource for casually improving my algorithm and data structure skills.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to answer most questions in at least 2 different ways. After answering questions, take a look at the community answers to learn tips and tricks from other users. The top few community answers aren't my favorite as they sacrifice readability for conciseness, but there is still a lot you can learn from others. Also, I highly recommend having someone else to compete with. Try to push each other to solve more and more problems and that will really keep you motivated.
