No incentive was offered Codility has helped me improve my skills as a developer and as an employer, I use Codility to frequently keep my staff sharp on the job by frequently testing their capabilities. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Strong Coding Tests, Narrower Assessment Scope - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Manshuk A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons 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. --- ### Not an adequate test for most engineering roles. - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Mark W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Codility Pricing, ease of use. #### Vendor response Dear Mark, thank you very much for your feedback! We are sorry to hear that your experience with Codility didn't meet your expectations. We'll strive to do better in the future! Algorithmic tasks are only a small part of our task library. We also offer a lot of real-life tasks, including the ones where candidates need to fix the bugs in existing code or rewrite the code to improve the application performance. Moreover, our Partnered Tasks service allows you to add your own real-life tasks to our platform. If you're interested in learning more about all sorts of tasks we offer to our customers, please reach out to sales@codility.com. We'd also be happy to hear more about what kind of tasks or technologies are missing in our library, so we can add them ASAP.

No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### My Codility - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. First time I used Codility 8-9 month ago in my interview. It was Microsoft interview. Scince that time I some times I join Codility and interested Codility questions. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### Codility does the hard work for the recruiting team - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Codility offers a lot of features that can help it's users for developing their recruitment system faster.

No incentive was offered My experience was awesome in general. I liked to do the exercises; they're hard enough to get us interested in solving them. My only complain is I'd like to get the final report after an interview to be able to work on my weaknesses. That would be great. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The final report when we finish an exercise. It is simply awesome. We are able to quickly verify which area we should work harder to enhance/improve our skills. #### Cons The system blocks the final report if our recruiter doesn't allow us to see it. The feeling is like I will remain blind in front of my weaknesses. --- ### Toma el control de tu proceso de selección con Codility - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: María de los Ángeles D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Program Development - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

We can't see them for future reference purpose. It just show that this case failed. #### Vendor response 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.
