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.

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.

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.

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.

Can't really think of one, its a great tools for company that hires Tech talents in volume.

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.

It is deployable and easier for HR who don't understand code themselves. The ability to compare to other programmers' skills is nifty.

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.

It's much more convenient than paper tests.

Easy to use. I can manage a lot of candidates and different software languages.

There is not enough task. My package is not contains plagiarism check.

It is a well organised, polished platform for coding skills evaluation. The lessons and challenges provide good content for user practice and the summary section helps to understand the areas the user is going well and areas to improve.

The platform suits me very well so I don't have any comments on things I dislike or wish to improve.

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.

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.

Codility offers a lot of features that can help it's users for developing their recruitment system faster. Codility is also a great tool for the job seeker as they can practice the latest interview skills here.

I didn't find any disadvantages related to this one.

Codility has really helped us speed up our recruitment process enabling us to do all of our candidate testing pre-interview

Ease of use for candidates and hiring managers

Time consuming to 1st set up the system for use as you need to create all of your tests

Most importantly, codility allowed our organization to dramatically speed up our recruiting process without a loss in quality of screening.

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.

Not much honestly. It's working out pretty well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

it's very easy to use. Supports different programming languages and can be fitted to our needs as company.

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.

Como empresa de software Codility nos ha ayudado muchísimo en el proceso de selección de candidatos IT, ya que con Codility hacemos las pruebas técnicas para evaluar los conocimientos de éstos candidatos.

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

La principal contra es que Codility está enfocado en habilidades técnicas, por lo que sus tests no son los mejores para evaluar habilidades blandas

In codility have learned a lot more so in software development , with new technologies

It's is easy to use and learn new technologies

All is awesome the technology used and the way assessments are set

Excellent to assess how candidates act, but overall too expensive

Outstanding choice of candidate tests, good test evaluation review function

Licence package too broad and expensive , good for body rental companies but not for a company, however large, that manages recruiting internally

A great coding platform, it's easy to use with a clean interface. I've enjoyed the exercises available. The problem statement and examples have great clarity without being too wordy or short. I've taken a couple of tests for companies who used Codility for screening. I've had great experience writing code, testing, putting in my own test-sets all available in the platform.

The software is pretty much self contained and clean. There isn't much I would complain about. I would love to see more exercises/puzzles.

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.

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.

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.

It has been a great first few months working with Codility! The staff, has been very patient and generous helping us out, doing more than we could ask for! Great customer experience up to now and hopefully it will always continue like this for the future as well.

Codility offers us the opportunity to have a IT assessment part during our recruitment process, which is probably the best in the market available.

It should have even more tests for each possible position :-)

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.

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.

Perfect

It's timing would really make you learn to think fast.It also helps me to measure the true capabilities of any developer.I have also improve my skill just by using their platform

I can't think of any at the moment. They have really met my needs for now.

in one material, we can test with many programmer language.

i like the lesson. We can read the material before we can test our capability in mini test or challenge

in my first impression with this software, it's very user friendly. Not need many time to adapt with this software

Exceptional customer service.

Variety of testing and personalization options ensures that we are efficiently structuring our interview process to gauge engineering effectiveness.

The UI, while getting better, still leaves somethings to be desired.

You can learn a lot about your candidates by giving the same tests. I'm using it mostly with junior developers.

The ease of use and the candidate experience.

That I don't have enough candidats to use it more :)

The design is also quite standard. The idea is good, but testing cases would give little insight into candidate abilities.

Customized/ personal testing cases won't load. Support instead of acknowledging and correcting issues came with speculative non-relevant arguments blaming the user.

I like to take tests on Codility, it's clear about requests and also it helps you through the process.

no cons about Codility, why would I have any?

Very easy to use, great customer service if you want a custom test created

Codility really lets me add extra value to clients. It is an extra level of service that most of my competitors are providing. It is easy to use and helps me find the best candidates .

Nothing that comes to mind- very user freindly
