Overall Satisfaction with CodeSignal

CodeSignal is used early on in the interview process to assess software engineers's technical acumen, algorithmic knowledge and overall fluency in a specific coding language. The candidates generally get sent 2 to 3 questions to complete with a specific amount of time. Any candidate with a good score gets to continue the process where they will be further assessed by engineers.
  • Testing the skills and knowledge of junior engineers
  • Lets reviewers see what the candidates wrote while the exercise was happening and provides an indication of the candidate's thought process
  • In my opinion, UI is really bad
  • Saves engineers time as it reduces the need for interviews

CodeSignal can be useful to help determine the knowledge of engineers on more theoretical topics.
In my experience, CodeSignal can be very useful for more junior roles, and in particular when you receive a lot of applications and you need to have more data points on candidates before deciding whether or not to move forward with more interviews
