Great platform to enhance your coding skills
What do you like best about the product?
1. User interface - Its the best, and I have used other similar platforms, and I have to say it is way better than those. Easy to use, looks nice, what more can one ask?
2. Community - I have been using CodeSignal for the past 3 years, and I have hardly seen any toxic behavior from other users. In fact, they are really helpful and I have actually learned a lot from them.
3. Former daily challenges/current community challenges - Most of them are interesting, will keep you engaged in it, and when you solve them you will be satisfied because you were able to learn something. While the rest of the problems, well thanks to CodeSignal, they allow scoring based on character count (lower would be better), those are still interesting, I like code golfing very much, I believe it helps you be more proficient in the language that you choose to code with.
4. Interview practice section - To be honest, I learned trees, linked lists thanks to this section. And they also are useful because they are asked in interviews (I myself was asked a problem from linked list in an interview).

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Current daily challenges - Basically rundown of arcade problems presented randomly. I don't completely dislike it because I like golfing it though.
2. Arcade problem description - Some arcade problems are poorly described, gives you a hard time solving it.
3. Big-O-Notation sub section in the interview section has been there forever.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using it for enhancing my coding skills and language proficiency, and I always like the opportunity to learn new thing.
Awesome Insightful Experience
What do you like best about the product?
It manifested a lot of my weaknesses that I took for granted in both the language and problem solving. I was able to strengthen these and simply by solving the challenges and seeing how other solve the same challenge. Additionally, when you solve a really hard challenge and you have over 50 lines of code and you see the top solution with one line, it definitely gets you digging deep in both problem solving and the language.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes description of the challenges can be unclear or misleading. But getting help from the community with extensive testing usually gets you by these challenges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My problem solving skills have definitely strengthened I have learned a pantheon of new features that I utilised. Now my coworkers think am a god. lol
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find that when you figure out how others get the solutions really improves your ability to be creative in your problem solving.
You should start here
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface for CodeSignal is the best among the programming sites available. The arcade section was addicting and further boosted my motivation to learn a new programming language. If you're into code golfing or enjoy learning how a language work under the hood, the daily challenges provide a fun challenge (even if the difficulty of the challenge itself may not be difficult).
What do you dislike about the product?
The weekly challenges disappeared, challenges recycled, and marathons disappeared. The competitive aspect of the side is decided by the users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solved all types of problems with CodeSignal. The benefits are being able to look at a problem and gain an understanding of what algorithm and data structure to implement for a given task.
One of the best places that you practice your coding skill
What do you like best about the product?
Codesignal has beautiful and friendly user interface. It has many topics and programming languages that you can choose to learn and practice. Especially, codesignal has coding challenge every single day that you can join and solve that challenge.
Codesignal has a good community. They are friendly and willing to help when you have any problems. It also has an amazing profile, you can build your profile and show it in you CV.

What do you dislike about the product?
Many problems and challenges are duplicate. Sometimes, problems and challenges have a bad description and test case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Codesignal help me a lot in my studying and my work. It helps me to improve my coding skills and my mindset about solving any problem. It also helps me pass my first interview. Thank a lot.

Amazing IDE and interesting problems
What do you like best about the product?
CodeSignal not only provides a fun way to practice and learn new programming skills but also offers different problems with varying difficulties that are sure to challenge most programmers. Moreover, their Interview Practice section is very helpful in preparing and practising for interviews with some of the top companies. Although I work as a researcher in cognitive neuroscience, I find that keeping up to date with current trends and programming languages is an essential skill in most fields.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to understand why some hidden tests are failing to succeed when the issue does not relate to optimization. Another issue that I can mention is that the ratings for solutions in the Challenges are normally based on the number of characters, which leads to unelegant solutions being the top solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I normally solve problems in the Arcade, Interview Practice, and occasionally in the challenges. By practising regularly I have noticed improvements when it comes to posing different problems in programming terms, and also in optimization and legibility of my code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your company needs an automated tool to test candidates, or if you just want to practice coding on your own, then CodeSignal is one of the best options in the market.
The perfect platform to get better at competitive coding
What do you like best about the product?
I mainly use the Interview mode and Company challenges since I'll be attending campus placements at my university shortly. I have tried other platforms but I couldn't practice consistently on any of them. The reason I feel CodeSignal is better than the rest is because of these features:
1. You know which companies have asked this question which makes it exciting.
2. They specify the time and space complexity to be used in several questions which is what actually helps in the growth of an individual in this domain.
I have participated in tournaments a few times and it might seem overwhelming in the beginning for those who are just getting started in competitive programming but it's good brain exercise.

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful if there was syntax error highlighting. It would be nice if the mobile version is ready since I don't have access to my laptop all the time and like coding on my phone whenever possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the interview mode since there are a limited number of questions in each topic, it helps me get better in the topics of my choice in a quick fashion.
The company challenges and the time limit have helped me get a better insight into how fast I need to be to solve one question which I had no idea about previously. This is because I've only participated in tournaments which have a collective time limit for a given set of questions.

The best place to improve your coding skills, interview preparation
What do you like best about the product?
Codesignal has really helped me to improve my coding skills, logic, algorithm. It also helps me greatly in assessing my ability and level through tests, challenges and tournament with other coder everywhere in the world.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike at codesignal. But it would be better if they could improve the daily challenge features (like before instead of Arcade Daily Challenges) and improve the product in their store.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I improve my coding skills, logic, algorithm, data types and optimize execution time of the function.
I realized it's the best place to get started with if you're a newbie or started learing a new programming language

Excellent for Learning and Honing Skills
What do you like best about the product?
I love the arcade mode on this website. It has so many different skills to learn, including dedicated sections for learning Python and MySQL. The interview practice section is very similar. I've found both to be very helpful in refining my skills and seeing where I'm maybe not so sharp.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the code completion questions. A lot of them are very cryptic and hard to follow. There's no documentation to tell you what is going on and some of them are solved in very roundabout ways.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used CodeSignal to prepare for the American Computer Science League All Star contest in 2017. I worked a lot on recursion problems and the Python section. Thanks to what I learned on CodeSignal, we actually won the competition. I've found that using CodeSignal gives a very real sense of what my strengths and weaknesses are in programming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CodeSignal is great if you're looking to refine a specific skill or learn another programming language. Have patience as you work through the very basic questions at the beginning of the arcade section.
Great toy problem platform
What do you like best about the product?
The good and step-by-step nature of the problems, in different technologies, good tests, and instant feedback, beyond the great community that uses the platform. Great for training and preparing for interviews, reviewing Computer Science concepts (especially about algorithms and data structures, which are really important in the context of coding interviews), and training your problem-solving skills. The platform allows you to choose from a wide range of programming languages and also offers a great IDE, which can be configured to resemble the most common text editors used by developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no related resources that teach the technologies for beginners, so if you want to learn something from scratch it is better to find some other resource online that teaches you the fundamentals of programming so that you can train your problem-solving skills after you already have a basic understanding of how a language works. Besides, their social network is not the best, even though it already provides some usefulness for its users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning new and good languages and keeping myself fresh in my algorithmic skills. I am solving problems usually in the Arcade mode (all of the exercise tracks are interesting and helpful for beginners and advanced programmers alike), but I have also done some on Interview practice. A couple of problems a day should be enough for you to keep practicing solving toy problems and, when needed, the amount of daily exercises can be intensified for when an interview is coming up soon.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start at the beginning, doing a few exercises every day and go on to more advanced topics as you gain confidence.
Only Pro
What do you like best about the product?
One of the main things, that forced me to register at toptal , was status of "toptaler" . No doubt this is the best platform in the world , and if you work there , you are one of the best developers too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes from 1 to 3 month (screening process)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I' m learning twice faster than usual
