### "Problem Solving never ends here"

May 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

I always love to code in a tournament and 10 mins challenges with other users. I could see so much improvements in my presence of mind and problem solving skills. i would recommend this to all my friends as its a good productive diversion from our office work.I'm always having fun at programming with CodeSignal. CodeSignal is full of games of challenges. If one finds time everyday to solve/finish his daily tasks in CodeSignal, he will be mastered in problem solving.

Cons

I observed that same problems are repeated often in a short span. There are no problems related to image processing.

### "Not that good"

August 23, 2019

2.0

I don't really liked it, got a lot of stress before my exam, sorry

Pros

I turned off my notifications, but still haven't been able to take a quiz, I had to call support, they made a video chat in zoom and only after that they allowed taking a quiz

Cons

It looks really secure and maybe it's a better way to do exams

### "signals that reaches where its needed"

August 9, 2019

4.0

Problems/Exercise range is overpowering .You have a huge repositories . Initially i was not aware of trading your earn point to view solution and understand rationale and methods behind answers and that was a real bonus for me.My over all experience has been extremely good and i find myself spending more and more time at code signal. In fact its became like a habit , when ever i have leisure time i ends up visiting the site and i am sure i will have something new and good here for me.

Pros

Purpose of the software is to make you experience competitive environments in IT job markets in a very cooperative and understanding way.You earn points solving exercise- you can use these points to get across if you are struck at somewhere - which means it does not have to be the end for sojourn with this site. Site has some of the best brains in data structure and coding world - you can view their solution and learn a lot from them. Emphasis is not always use run of the mill procedure for solving a problem but prompts you to answer in a better ways , in a more productive way and that is the plus point of the site.

Cons

From my limited experience i have with this site i have nothing at the moment.

August 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

Lots of problems available on the site. You can practice a wide range of different topics. Has some real-life problems from various companies you can work on. Offers practice assessment tests that you can take to evaluate yourself. Tournaments throughout the day User Rankings if you're feeling competitive Chat option to connect with other users

### "CodeSignal is one of the best platforms for interview practice"

August 21, 2019

5.0

Great! The interview practice section despite being spare is super helpful!

Pros

\- How structured the interview practice is, the kind of testing it has and the social network built in - The editor is clean and easy to use and the test cases are very clear as well

Cons

\- There's SO much to study for coding interviews and it feels a little spare on the data structures end even though the arcade has a bunch of algorithms, there's not enough on the typical questions like how to reverse a linkedlist etc

### "One of the best coding practice site out there"

August 8, 2019

4.0

Pros

You can code in almost all the languages out there. I like the broadness of the test cases covered for any problem. Interface is user friendly.

Cons

First of all it makes me want to come back every day. But other than that, the challenges seems to be randomly selected from the learning paths which I might have already solved, so that can be improved.

August 21, 2019

It's Awesome.

Pros

Great features with great responsive user interface.

Cons

I am not pretty sure. But have a concern. If user want to give test and doesn't want to enable any of the security feature like camera or microphone, with ofcourse interviewers concern. Does he/she allowed to do that? I didn't find any option.

### "Code Signal Review"

August 12, 2019

5.0

Pros

Easy to use, tests provided and I could write my own, and it shows me how well I did.

Cons

I didn't have many tools for making runtime faster if the code ran too slow besides either optimizing it or using a faster language.

### "Fun coding assessment and learning platform"

April 6, 2026

5.0

Overall great platform and recommended to learn and prepare coding assessments ahead of coding interviews.

Pros

CodeSignal is great learning and applicant assessment platform for learning coding different programming languages and frameworks. With user friendly interface, it makes learning and practical coding fun and interactive.

Cons

Very limited free features for free users, Premium costs may be a bit steep. The criteria for passing coding challenge may also be very strict and needs specific requirements even with working code.

### "Don'tbe trapped"

September 12, 2023

3.0

It is ok if you don't need nothing from codesignal team, if you need any request, your nightmare will start.

Pros

Easy to use, thus missing some critical features

Cons

Support was ... can't say there's a support.Two year waiting for a vue.js assessment and others, two years waiting to get a few more colors on tags, two years waiting to have the information about who sent the assessment to the candidate, none of those were done.Now we are leaving codesignal, and guess what, there is no way to export any of our tests, those we created manually, even the developer team can do it. This is the support level you will get with codesignal.

Reason for choosing CodeSignal

Easy interface, custom assessments

### "An Actually Enjoyable Algorithms Platform"

August 13, 2019

5.0

CodeSignal has become my de-facto platform for practicing algorithms, and it looks like more and more companies are taking to using the platform for applications as well.

Pros

Algorithms can be a slog to practice, but CodeSignal offers more features than its competitors that make it actually enjoyable to use. I appreciate the numerous game modes and guided tracks that CodeSignal offers. Combined with the gamified nature - leveling up and earning coins as you go - it's fun to work your way through problems on the platform, and the tracks provide good overviews of important topics to practice. Of course, this would all be meaningless if the problems and coding environment were subpar. Fortunately, CodeSignal offers a good mix of easy to challenging problems. I rarely feel confused as to what a given problem is expecting, and I have never had an issue with the coding environment.

Cons

There is not a great aspect of feedback on CodeSignal. After solving a problem, you can view most up-voted solutions submitted by others, but there is no definitive metric for gauging how your submission compares to the optimal solution. CodeSignal could improve through efficiency statistics or explanations for solving problems optimally.

### "Issues with codesignal.com"

March 6, 2022

1.0

Pros

I don't see any reason to use their software if they are not able to keep recordins safe.

Cons

Recently, I took a new assesment in their platform. I completed according to their instructions.(proctoring) And what happened at the end? They just send me an email due to technical issues they invited me to retake assesment. I contacted with their support to get better explanation, and what they said the day I was taking assesment they had issues so they lost all recordings. So what they told basically I spent 1.5 hour in front of computer for nothing. And I have to retake it assesment. They are not taking any responsibility on that issues from their side.

Overall, CodeSignal is a great tool for beginners to improve problem-solving with different journeys given on the website.

It is a great platform for practicing and improving problem-solving skills and can add more questions in the interview preparation section.

### "Good for taking coding challenges"

August 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

The IDE is great for programming. I used java. The questions I had some were easy, some were hard, but all of them felt nice to code on. It even had a little autocomplete for variable names and such, something very helpful in the midst of a coding challenge.

Cons

Honestly, not much. For some of the questions, it highlighted my code, which made it look a little weird, but that is very small. The system is great.
