What do you like best about Codility?

The ease with which you can create a panel of tests to model a given technical role, and then look in detail at not just how a candidate handled a task, but also the steps they took to get to their solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

There are a few places in the interface where I believe some improvements could be made. However, not only are the staff very open to constructive feedback, they are quick to take action on that feedback. One suggestion I made regarding evaluation of tests submitted without changes was implemented in less than a week after I made it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codility:

The support staff is great, definitely make use of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codility solving and how is that benefiting you?

A resume gives you a vague sense of what a candidate believes is important, presented in the way they want you to see it. Modeling your vacant role with a collection of tasks on Codility lets you turn those resume claims into practical application examples which you can use to evaluate the candidate's actual capabilities. Seeing how long a candidate takes, what wrong paths they took, what corrections they made, and what test cases they came up with is a great way to get a feeling for how they will work on your team. Being able to compare candidates on a standardized battery of tasks lets you make an apples-to-apples evaluation when selecting between them. How they performed can give you guidance on how to direct the next stages of your interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codility?

The intelligence behind the tool is amazing, good excersise selection, good topics, alternatives Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

Most of it, the code editor, there isn't a developer working in 2025 (or even pre 2000) who isn't used intellisense, even teammates working with big companies don't remember the exact name of classes... because we can type the work with either just a single keypress or a shortcut (ironically JRs have an easier time using the tool since they don't have 8+ years of experience with automation) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Charlie Smith of Codility

Hi Carlos, we appreciate you taking the time to review Codility, and thank you for being a customer. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the code editor was unsatisfactory. If you haven't tried our new VSCode IDE, it supports Intellisense and we highly recommend trying it out for a more true-to-life coding experience. If you're willing, we'd love to hear more about your experience – send us an email at hire-team@codility.com!

What do you like best about Codility?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

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 collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codility solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

What do you like best about Codility?

I am part of an HR department and started using Codility at my new organization. At first, it was a bit confusing trying to understand how to set up some of the assessments and how they integrate with our ATS. However, Codility's help articles were really helpful and when I had additional questions, their support team was really great in walking me through the issue step by step. They had a quick turn around time and when they reached out, it was a personalized solution with a screen recording outlining the steps we had to take as opposed to just linking the help article link. I really appreciate this type of personalized support and quick turnaround time especially in recruitment when things can move fast and you don't have time to wait for an issue to be dragged on for weeks!

Additionally being a data-driven organization, we really appreciate all of the analytics Codility provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

As a first-time user, setting up a test wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked. The interface felt a bit overwhelming, and I had to spend extra time navigating through the options to understand the process fully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codility solving and how is that benefiting you?

Codility helps us with high volume recruiting especially for internships. In these scenarios, we use technical assessments that we built using Codility to narrow down our candidate search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codility?

What I like most about Codility is how easy it is to use. The coding challenges are clear, and the problem statements are super easy to understand. It helps me quickly assess candidates’ skills, and the detailed reports with code playback make it simple to see how they solved each problem.

Integration with other tools is smooth, and the wide range of features allows for flexible coding challenges tailored to different roles. I use it frequently in our hiring process because it streamlines candidate evaluations. However, I wish the test case details and inputs used in assessments were more visible during the review process. The customer support has also been responsive whenever I’ve had questions or needed help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

During assessments, it doesn't show the actual inputs or test case details that were run. Instead, it just gives logs like 'ran first input' and 'successful,' which makes it harder to understand how the code was tested or where candidates might have gone wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codility solving and how is that benefiting you?

Codility helps me a lot by making it easy to assess technical skills during hiring. Instead of spending time manually reviewing code, I can quickly see who has the right skills through real-world coding challenges. It’s been a huge time-saver and has improved the quality of candidates we bring in. Plus, the platform lets me evaluate problem-solving abilities on a larger scale, which makes the whole hiring process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codility?

The IDE is very visually pleasing, especially the dark mode. All required functions that you normally expect from and IDE are present, easy to find, and work as espected. There is no noticeable lag anywhere. The questions are very clear and require insight to produce the best results. IntelliSense works great without any lag. The code compiles and runs super fast. The results are also presented neatly and very clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

The only downside I found was not knowing if writing a program that sacrifices memory for speed would run within the memory limits of the test, having an idea of the ram available would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codility solving and how is that benefiting you?

Codility is making sure that companies can interview candidates that are capable of solving problems with the skills that are required for a job. It serves as a first filter before time and resources are spent on candidates that are ultimately not viable for a position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codility?

As a Technical Architect at Infinite Computer Soln , I’ve been using Cordiality for 80 minutes to assess technical skills during our recruitment process. Here’s my perspective:Codility offers a diverse set of coding challenges and technical questions that are well-suited for evaluating a wide range of programming skills. The platform is user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to set up and administer assessments. The ability to create custom tests tailored to specific job roles is particularly valuable.Overall, Codility performs reliably with minimal downtime. The automated grading system provides accurate assessments of candidates' coding abilities, although occasional issues with complex queries have been noted.Codility’s support team is responsive and helpful, although response times can sometimes be longer than expected. The available documentation and resources are comprehensive but could benefit from more frequent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codility?

Overall, I see codility as a solid tool for conducting interviews here at Whoop. I've have to say it's reliable, and I have never had an issue with it's performance or anything of that nature, which I value the most.

I am an iOS Devleoper by trade, and use the tool for mobile interviews. While I see there is now compilation features last I checked, we don't prefer to use them. Having compiler checks takes time away from the interview itself, and the signals I am looking for.

Maybe a simple feature, but I do like that an interview can have sets of interviews on the left tab. Which is great as we do an Android and iOS themed version of the interview problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

Maybe due to its pricing models only our interviewers have access to codility. And then they send us the info the day of to conduct the interview. I wish that more folks could have access. When we were revamping our interview questions we had to have the recruiting team setup our problem in codility.

I also do interviews for contractors at our company, which recruiting doesn't conduct. So when I need an interview setup for the day I have to reach out to recruiting, which seems a little silly that I cannot also just press a button to start an interview. The pricing model likely incentivises fewer seats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codility solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us conduct interviews remotely, and it's a very realiable tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codility?

I use to use Google Docs or Notepad for interviewing candidates, but with Codility it so easily to share code and even the candidates can write and compile the code in different languages which will help us the interviewers the time in analyzing their code manually. Such a relief with Codility!

Many a times there were cases where Teams or Zoom screen sharing was not working, in such cases Codility was a savior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codility?

It would be great if Codility can provide some questions and test cases as well like Leetcode to test candidates coding skillset whether the code they wrote passes all test cases and covers all the cases or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codility solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think for candidates it has been providing with improved interviewing experience and for interviewers like me it is very helpful in completely focusing on coding skills and not on unstructured data like resume. Complete and efficient skill assesment platform I must say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
