Interaction Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great assessment tool for employers AND candidates" July 27, 2020 5.0 Woven seems like a fair and informative way to assess a developer's expertise before taking the time to interview them or go through whiteboard assessements. I had a very positive experience with the two Woven assessments I've been through so far. The feedback I received on my assessments was reasonable and encouraging, and suggested ways that I can improve. Pros Receiving feedback is vital for improvement. As a job applicant, Woven provided me with feedback that helped me understand what I needed to learn to improve my qualifications. Even before my evaluation, it directed me to resources to help me refresh my topical knowledge, and let me take a mock evaluation for practice. Cons I have no complaints. The system was easy to learn and use. Review Source Response from Woven Teams July 28, 2020 Thanks for the great review Carl! VR Verified Reviewer Associate Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A good platform for mass level online screening tests " May 17, 2024 4.0 Pros 1\. Super easy to use and set up with your work tool 2. Realtime reporting is a bonus for any recruiter Cons 1\. Goes to a lot of candidates' spam 2. Customization is an issue 3. API integration is not effective Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Full-Stack and DevOps Software Engineering Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Very Subpar Candidate Experience " March 21, 2026 2.0 Terrible candidate interviewing experience. Placed in an unproctored, two hour digital "technical interview" environment that fundamentally lacked common toolchains you'd actually use on a daily basis in the role. Filling out questions was clunky - at best. Despite clearly adhering to the rules - received a "feedback" email saying "you violated something (but we wont tell you what)" and then a prompt to rate them 5 stars. I've had WORSE technical rounds - but this one was pretty darn bad. While the content of the test was relevant to the role, the environment was not good and the entire thing was incredibly impersonal. As a technical hiring manager - which I've been numerous times in multiple roles - I would literally never use this tool in my hiring chain. Pros Not much to like here. The content of the exam was relevant to the role. But that's about it. I have little to praise. Cons Terrible tool chain. Little to no debugging tools. The ones that existed didn't behave clearly or effectively. Terrible feedback response with zero insight. No human touch whatsoever. Horribly impersonal. Review Source LS Logan S.

They assess technical as well as soft skills so you know that the Dev you're thinking about bringing onto your team will actually work with your team! They take a very personalized approach to the assessment process which shows they are giving you and your team the respect and attention they deserve. I feel great about working with Woven in the future. Pros You're probably used to getting the same old DSA assessments with zero real-world relevance: like "invert a binary search tree" - not with Woven. The technical assessment is superb. It encompasses real-world scenarios and is graded much more care and consideration than "make it pass these unit tests" With Woven, I had a real person look over my solutions and give me great personalized feedback on what they liked and what I could improve on. The whole experience felt very collaborative. 2000% would recommend. Cons The directions could be a little more clear but overall their platform is very good. I didn't try dark mode but at least its there - making the interface look more like VSC may lead to some better results during assessments as its familiar and easier to "think in code" UI could use a little more modernized polish but the platform has a great base.

August 4, 2020 5.0 Pros I accidentally made an infinite loop, and it didn't break. It is robust. I also liked that I was told exactly how to prepare. It gave me the chance the review some technologies I wasn't as familiar with so I could give a more accurate representation of my work. There were no surprises. Cons At one point I found it a little too helpful. I like to have more control over my workflow than it gave me; it was a bit confusing to do things in their order instead of mine. Review Source Response from Woven Teams August 7, 2020 Thanks for the feedback Hugo! Rezwan Ferdous N. Full Stack Developer Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Professional code review" September 15, 2020 5.0 it was really amazing. I was pleased with the code review they provided and how they explained each part of it with a description. It' s really a very good practice to give code review like this and the developer/engineer can learn a lot from it. Pros It's easy to use and the tests are described perfectly, i like how they send me a very detailed review. Cons They can improve the coding challange part as this one need bit more detailed question and less usage of externel api as sometimes it can be confusing eve for a very experienced developer.

It tested me on more realistic situations and gave me a chance to show more of my knowledge. Also was given great feedback after the coding challenge was over. This will help me on future interviews. Cons The time limit seemed a little short for what was being tested. Review Source Response from Woven Teams August 7, 2020 Thanks for the review. We are working on untimed versions of the work simulation. JM Joel M. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A very pleasant experience as an applicant" July 23, 2020 5.0 I had a good experience with both the software automated parts of the system and the people with whom I interacted there that were driving the feedback cycle. I would recommend this to others who were looking for this kind of software and experience. Pros I felt it had a good quality review system and editor for the kind of thing it is, which is a software test system for job applicants. The feedback I received was top notch and timely. Cons Nothing jumped out at me. I think there was like one point during a process that instructions were unclear but I don't think that was software's fault. Review Source Response from Woven Teams July 29, 2020 Thanks for the great review Joel! Best of luck within your job search. Hans Peter S. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "woven review" July 21, 2020 5.0 Pros Easy to use. Very responsive. Everything worked as expected.

Pros Straight forward and easy to use, the directions where straight forward. Cons I don't really like browser code tests but this one was easy to port over to an IDE Review Source LV Luis V. Senior Lead Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Superb feedback of your assignment" July 31, 2020 5.0 Pros \* The platform is very intuitive to use \* Test that give you feedback about the code you are writing before submitting \* The feedback provided is outstanding, it is clear they take their time to review your assignment Cons \* Probably state more clearly some of their expectations Reason for choosing Woven I didn't choose it.

We will work on communicating expectations better. EFA Enrique F A. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great platform" July 22, 2020 5.0 I use Woven to solve some recruitment exercises. Pros Excellent platform to accomplish the recruitment process with technical test part. Great feedback, recommended 100%! Cons I think maybe including some demo video could be exceptional. And also include references to materials that could help you do better at other times. Review Source Response from Woven Teams July 30, 2020 Thanks Enrique! We are working on creating more tools like our prep guide to reduce candidate anxiety and level the playing field for candidates. SS Suraj S. Sr. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple but powerful" July 27, 2020 5.0 I used it for online assessment for a company, which was an real life work simulation for over an hour. It has all the necessary tools builtin to solve problems without leaving the portal except for research purpose. Pros Simplicity. It is feature rich yet with the right placement of different components it is very easy to use. Cons There was auto completion on code editor that I used. Review Source Response from Woven Teams July 28, 2020 Thanks for the review Suraj! We will look to improve the autocompletion for the code editor.

The feedback was very helpful in pointing out areas of improvement. Pros The ability to perform all tasks online. Ease of use, clear directions. Cons I didn't find this software deficient. Maybe some improvement on the problem descriptions, but that is mainly up to the company providing the assessment. Review Source DK Dipto K.

I really appreciate it. I hope most of the company will understand and make a collaboration with Woven to make the interview more enjoyable like this one. Cons I didn't use this software 100% yet. That's why I didn't get anything least for this apply. Review Source AY Anirwin Y.
