Likelihood to Recommend

For the preparation of job interviews and honing the coding skills of an individual, it is a well-suited platform. In schools and colleges too, this can be used for teaching proposes. For organizing hackathons, CodeSignal can be used to a certain extent. In the corporate world, it wouldn't be well suited for day-to-day development.
