Cons Nothing that comes to mind- very user freindly Review Source AI Amara I. Technical Sourcing Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Coding for Technical Assessment " February 8, 2023 5.0 Pros Codility is very easy to setup and user friendly. And one of the few things I really liked is that, for the monthly plan, the number of candidates to add for assessment is unlimited unlike other platforms that would usually have 30 slot Max. Cons Can't really think of one, its a great tools for company that hires Tech talents in volume. Switched from [HackerRank](https://www.capterra.com/p/143549/HackerRank/) Its was quite pricey.

Senior Software Engineer Program Development Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Online coding platform" July 17, 2019 3.0 Pros I was invited to give an online test on this platform. I liked the practice problem that they have provided with every detailed explanations as well. The test cases for each problems are also very diverse. Cons When we are doing a problem, every easy test cases are provided. Once we submit the solution, it evaluates on a wide range of test cases depending on correctness and performance. But these test cases are not visible to the programmer. We can't see them for future reference purpose. It just show that this case failed. Review Source Response from Codility August 2, 2022 Dear Ashish, thank you very much for your feedback! We're happy to hear that you had a positive experience with Codility :) There are multiple reasons why some of the test cases are hidden. Some of the test cases are rather complicated, which might create some confusion, and we strive to provide candidates with the best experience possible. In addition, we don't make all test cases visible to candidates because this would encourage them to hardcode a solution rather than writing one that will scale in a real-life job related scenario.

HR Recruitment Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Improvement" October 12, 2018 4.0 It's fast to have a real notion about the capabilities of the candidate. We can get material to go deeper when we're interviewing candidate. Pros it's very easy to use. Supports different programming languages and can be fitted to our needs as company. Cons Sometimes the ui/ux/layout of the product isn't easy to read the code until the end. in 1 side we have the task and the other the result of it. Would be good if we can improve the live code and also have like a whiteboard to interact with the candidate and solve challenges during an interview or even during the challenge. Review Source Response from Codility October 17, 2018 Thanks for the feedback António, great that you like how easy Codility is to use. Since you asked about interview functionalities, you might want to try our CodeLive product which gives you a shared interface with your candidate for solving challenges together or coding together on a whiteboard. Feel free to contact us at support@codility.com and we'll give you a tour! VR Verified Reviewer Data Scientist / Management Consultant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very positive." July 18, 2018 5.0 Pros Provides a platform to test ones coding/algorithmic skills in interesting problems. The problems are challenging and the feedback provided by the system is helpful. Cons I would prefer to see problems tailored to Machine Learning. The problems I encountered in the site are like puzzles to be solved. I would prefer to reflect more Applied Machine Learning.

Pros i like the lesson. We can read the material before we can test our capability in mini test or challenge Cons in my first impression with this software, it's very user friendly.

Pros The software gives us the ability to create a set of coding challenges tailored to the type of hire, with the right degree of difficulty. It also has the capability to detect cheating, which has been very helpful to root out candidates we wouldn't want. After having used the software awhile, we can now gauge how different candidates compare. Cons Not much honestly. It's working out pretty well.

Provides a clear description of the menu to interact with. Cons Does not have a debugging pane here difficult to carry out unit tests before submitting final solution. Review Source ZU Zahid U.

Team Lead Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool to filter out right candidates for your purpose" August 20, 2018 5.0 Pros \- Getting a sense of pair programming with interviewee - Enables screening candidates' coding ability Cons Not sure yet ... I've not explored all of it so far. Review Source MA Manshuk A. HR Generalist Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Strong Coding Tests, Narrower Assessment Scope" May 27, 2025 5.0 We evaluated Codility alongside Predictive Index and another technical testing platform. While Codility impressed us with its intuitive code editor and reliable auto-grading, it lacked the broader suite of behavioral assessments we required. Their team was friendly and supportive throughout our trial, but ultimately we chose Predictive Index for its all-around talent insights and another vendor for deeper coding assignments. I can't disclose the name of the competitor. Pros Codility’s coding environment is clean and responsive, with real-time code evaluation that helped us see candidate skill levels instantly. Their problem library is solid for common programming languages, and setup was straightforward thanks to clear documentation. Cons As a tech assessment tools, their non-technical assessment options (like cognitive, analytical, culture-fit or personality tests) are limited or non-existent. We also needed deeper integrations with our ATS, which aren’t quite as polished yet. Alternatives considered [Coderbyte](https://www.capterra.com/p/189909/Coderbyte/) Reason for choosing Codility We considered Codility because its real-time code evaluation and reliable auto-grading gave us instant, accurate insights into candidate skills. The platform’s clean coding environment and straightforward setup let us get up and running quickly, and the solid library of language-specific challenges matched our hiring needs better than the alternatives we tried. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Codility’s Strengths and Areas for Improvement" October 20, 2024 5.0 Codility helps bridge the challenge of assessing coding skills on objective and efficient grounds. For me, it's like a mentor, which initiates you to first of all think as a software engineer would, maximize your codes, and be considerate of the edge cases in real-world conditions. Providing problems that are similar to those you might encounter in a job interview or while trying to solve especially complex coding problems on the job makes the process of preparing for technical interviews much easier. Pros I recently attempted Codility. Honestly, I would say it was some mix of both challenge and insight. The platform is quite well designed with a smooth interface to coding, clear problem statements, and real-time feedback about performance. Cons Probably, one of the issues with Codility is that the tests can sometimes appear a little too edged on the edge cases. I think it might be frustrating for developers more accustomed to solving practical, everyday problems. In some cases, very severe time limitations and scoring systems really add unnecessary stress on candidates. Instead of exploring creative solutions, candidates focus more on trying to get a qualifying score. Review Source María de los Ángeles D.

Pros Evaluación precisa de habilidades técnicas.Ahorro de tiempo y eficiencia con el sistema de clasificación automática que facilita el proceso de revisión y calificación de las respuestas.Flexibilidad en el armado de los tests Cons La principal contra es que Codility está enfocado en habilidades técnicas, por lo que sus tests no son los mejores para evaluar habilidades blandas Review Source MW Mark W. Engineer Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not an adequate test for most engineering roles." May 29, 2020 2.0 If you use it, I would suggest the live-code feature where you screenshare and watch the applicant solve one larger problem, preferably one that relates to the job at hand rather than a mensa puzzle. Make sure to review the failing submissions because in many cases, they had it right, but the machine graded them wrong, this could be for many reasons including the structure of the training set they were given was different from that of the testing data. Over half of what our engineers do is debug, interpret existing code, and build infrastructure. None of these things are tested with Codility. If they do pass, they are proficient in at least one element of the job, but not necessarily the rest. I interview any applicant who passes with 30% and always look at their code even if it failed. Pros It is deployable and easier for HR who don't understand code themselves. The ability to compare to other programmers' skills is nifty. Cons Many of the problems are not completely presented (I.E. there are other factors that are not mentioned which would influence the code, so applicants who submit overly-thorough code will actually fail because the machine didn't like their answer.. it is a guessing game) 20 minute time limits to solve an algorithm problem are NEVER the case in real life. Programmers do not work off memory, they work off documentation-- codility does not test on use of frameworks or libraries, only math concepts. The IDE is limited, will delete the applicant's code if they switch languages momentarily.

Pros I have used Codility as a developer as well as an employer and I can tell you that it is a great assesment tool. One of Codility's key advantages is that it enables employers to quickly and effectively assess the coding abilities of numerous job applicants. Candidates can work at their own pace through the online coding tasks on the user-friendly website.As a developer, I use Codility to assess my coding abilities and learn new programming paradigms in the process. Cons Some of the things which I would like them to work on is an offline mode. The complete dependence on the internet may limit some users from enjoying its features. They should also make it such that tests are optionally timed, many times, developers are not able to complete the tasks within the short timeframe.

It was Microsoft interview. Scince that time I some times I join Codility and interested Codility questions. Pros It's easy of use and I can reach evey old questions easily because questions listed near by near. And I can connect to start time for taking my test again if time is already expired. And resolving time period for every test questions is long, in 1-2 month every body can connect and resolve problem and earn certificate for every resolving problems. Cons For every problems I trying use my computer idea before adding my code to Codility because it apsent idea feature, ex. autocomplete. And I do my test cases by myself(It's a bit takes time ) in my idea. I would like Codility before give the several tests cases which users can copy to add their idea.
