"A very simple and at the same time convenient application for conducting online interviews."

5/5

What do you like best about CodeInterview?

The most helpful about CodeInterview (in our case) is the ability to create a database sample so that the candidates have the opportunity to check the queries that they write during the interview.

And also a whiteboard, with sample figures - so we can easily show to candidates (or they to us) what we mean in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeInterview?

Sometimes the whiteboard is buggy, but this is a beta version, and in general, there were no cases where it did not work in the end. And what about other things? At this moment our team didn't find any issues that work somehow unexpected or need to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for online interviews"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CodeInterview?

The real-time collaboration and the speed at which ideas can be communicated. Quick templates can be created for pre-planned questions. Also, the whiteboard feature is extremely useful for a quick visual idea Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeInterview?

This is not so much a negative, but there is an option for having a call via CodeInterview and since most companies use Teams, Zoom, Skype, etc., this feature is unnecessary.

One suggestion would be to have a more structured dashboard in the sense of having a way to group interviews and templates withing folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem it solved was being able to remotely interview people during the pandemic. However, now that things are getting back to normal, it is still often a preferred way of interviewing since for some people it is difficult to travel for an on-site interview.

"Great tool for code interviews"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CodeInterview?

It helps us conduct interviews with software development candidates. The pricing is more suitable for a small business than CoderPad. The interview templates are also fairly intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeInterview?

Initial React build is a bit slow. Happy with it otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use"

4/5

What do you like best about CodeInterview?

It is relatively easy to use. The feature I particularly love is the ability to create templates. It saved me a lot of hassle and allowed me more time to focus on other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeInterview?

The one thing I didn't like about the product is the need to manually end the interview. There were times when after the interview was over, a candidate would revisit the link and edit their solutions. It would be awesome to be able to prematurely set an expiration time on these interviews.

On that note, it is great that we were able to catch these sneaky edits because the product provided a timeline of the interview (so we can just evaluate the solution at the time of the interview and ignore everything else outside of the allowed time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Previously, we had candidates share their screen with their editor of choice and shared the question over zoom chat. At the end of the interview, we would then screenshot the answer and share that with the interviewing team. This method of sharing solutions was not ideal, since we do not have a centralized place to store these solutions. In addition, we were not able to properly compare candidates as we had a hard time tracking down older solutions.

With CodeInterview, everything is now in one place and hosting interviews has never been more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very intuitive, easy to use tool for collaborating on code interviews"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CodeInterview?

The ease of use for this product is excellent, its very useful to be able to paste a link into a chat with an interviewee and immediately be able to collaborate on a coding problem. The wide degree of language support is also helpful, and allowing an interviewee to run their code and view the output gives interviewers valuable insights into their ability.

It also very helpful to be able to replay the interview after its complete to review the candidate's thought process after the interview is over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeInterview?

Sometimes I've forgotten to stop an interview, and had the candidate return to the link after the interview was over and continue to make modifications. It could also be useful to allow us to configure an interview question along with a predefined test suite in order to compare candidate's solutions more objectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
