Overall Satisfaction with CodeSignal

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a student, I use it to help me prepare for technical interviews. I've provided several CodeSignal exams and believe they're really useful in predicting how you'd perform in a technical interview. Because the platform is incredibly informative and has a user-friendly layout, most of my peers utilize it for technical evaluations and interview preparation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Great questions for Technical Evaluations
User friendly interface
Point system that pushes you to complete more problems

Cons

I suppose they should include a feature that allows us to know whether the recruiter who requested our technical evaluation opted to proceed with the interview process or rejected us and decided to move on.
I think they should provide more listings of frequently asked questions by popular companies.
They should at the very least provide a suggestion or a solution to the questions we couldn't answer during the technical evaluation. How are we meant to improve if you don't tell us how to do it even after the assessment?

Alternatives Considered

HackerRank and Codility

HackerRank includes a lot of questions, but there are also a variety of questions available online with answers. The questions are generic, and there are few features. There are some interesting new questions on CodeSignal that help assess the candidate's understanding. At CodeSignal, the rest of the experience was excellent.

Likelihood to Recommend

There are many scenarios where CodeSignal is well suited such as technical assessments, interview preparations, and practicing our knowledge of data structures and algorithms. Although for some roles, the questions asked in technical assessments are irrelevant, since the role does not always require outstanding problem-solving knowledge. Hence in such cases, they should design a custom technical assessment that is specific to the role.
