CoderPad Pros and Cons

There are things together that make it the best. A comprehensive list of programming language choices, the built-in interpreter for running the code, the ability to playback interviews, reports on interviews conducted and even the drawing mode which is sometimes helpful when you want to explain the algorithm or some design aspect. Also I can write my private comments as an interviewer that I can later use during debriefs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not necessarily downsides as such but I am thinking if Coderpad can integrate with Zoom / Google Meet and offer one, integrated interviewing solution, that might work great. Also adding some AI to it such that it can predict during the course of an interview how well it will go based on its past experiences with a given technical problem, would be great too.

The ability to compile and run the code, run tests and share the link with the candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great to have a simple syntax code completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used CoderPad to hire some of our team's coders. Hiring was initially a stressful process, but with the help of CoderPad's hiring technology, it became simple. Before using CoderPad, we had to conduct manual interviews and go through multiple processes to bring people on board. It took a long time to find the right candidate. It was much better now that I had CoderPad.

As a customer, interviewers use CoderPad to host technical coding interviews. In general, it works well and provides users with an environment to code in various languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For auto suggestions, the code editor should be more responsive.

The practice environment should be placed in such a way that it is easily accessible.

CoderPad gives an IDE-like experience, with language awareness for several of the most common and popular languages. It allows me, as an interviewer, to allow a smoother experience for our candidates, so they can focus on what they know best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've had several UI changes in the past year, some of which were very beneficial (an indicator to show which line an observer/candidate was in the code), but some changes came with much surprise, and it was a bit of work to refactor our use case to reflect these changes.

I love the broad language support, the ability to save questions AND answers in different languages, and how straightforward it is to create a new interview directly from a previously saved question. It's fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes code execution can be a little wonky, especially for SQL questions. Sometimes you get strange/unexpected behavior, but I can honestly say I've only encountered that once or twice in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the most about this platform is the way it allows employers to find the best candidates for their job offers by assessing their programming skills through interactive challenges and games.

CodinGame for Work offers a wide variety of programming challenges, which test the skills of developers of all levels. Employers can use these challenges to evaluate the candidates' skills and select the best for their company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing I am very satisfied, it is an excellent platform for learning programming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how light-weight it is. One click, and I have a pad I can share out to interview candidates! Easy to manage for your org by a simple 'add users' section. Supports any language I ever needed to test in, and it even provides a multi-file experience now for things such as react front-end testing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't rename pads after the fact (at least not without going back in to them). Sometimes the replay feature is a bit clunky and hard to use in that the output doesn't show or is out of sync. I wish it was clearer, either on the list of pads page and/or in replay mode, how long the candidate took (total duration of the test). This is a very important metric for me. I know this is hard to calculate because we may accidentally leave the pad open once finished, but you could easily calculate the time difference between the first character typed, and the last.

I've been using CoderPad for years as a hiring manager and hiring interview panel member for software engineering interviews.

The real time compilation and interactive terminal where candidates can write code in a natural way and see results immediately is stellar. You get to see candidates thought process and debugging skills in action in a very realistic environment.

The newer tools for managing interview questions and providing prefab interview question prompts is also really good.

And it's sometimes very useful to be able to replay interviews to see what the play by play was in order to refresh your memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is a little high for a small company like mine, particularly during lulls like the current moment (early 2023) when we're not doing much hiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Easy to share with candidates

- Has the option to choose many programming language

- Has a private notes section where it is easy to type during the interview

- Allows to review the session, and has a summary of the participants and who participated with a timeline.

- Can run and see results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- No intellisense, so hard to do auto complete

- Not easy to include test frameworks, although it is possible, it would be easy to add as a shortcut

- No option to add audio and video, which is an important data about the session Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's straightforward to use. I've used it for hundreds of interviews, and there are usually no issues even with candidates who have never used CoderPad for the first time. Autocomplete works great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The real-time code checker is buggy sometimes, but it usually works great.

- Switching between different programming languages sometimes feels a bit glitchy, but this is rarely used, so it's not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
