304 CoderPad Reviews
- We use CoderPad for interviewing candidates. I found it to be reliable and syncing interviewees' answers are also prompt.
- My favorite functionality is the lookback function, where I can see when I vs an interviewee engaged on the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- My least favorite functionality is the "Private Interviewer Notes" section, I don't find it to be very useful and it ends up taking up a lot of screen space. I always had to minimize the section and re-adjust my data tables on the left. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Many languages are supported, and the ability to use Vim keybindings. It's not easy to replicate a coding environment that everyone will be happy with, but making the attempt is appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not always intuitive for candidates to use both the coding window and the console. It would also be helpful to have a view of the question being posed when it's not suitable to have it in the coding window as a comment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find it pretty easy to use for the sorts of interviews we do. I like the fact you can load up saved questions with some starter code, the range of languages available, and the replay feature can be pretty useful sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We mostly use CoderPad for conducting technical screening interviews so our questions tend to be fairly basic. It would be nice if we could disable the intellisense/error highlighting by default as it can be a bit too useful or even distracting sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the Coderpad always "just works" with a simple pre-installed environment for C++ and Python that also allows for the execution of the interviewees code. The question bank is very useful for setting up interviews quickly in a standard manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish Coderpad had more customization or offered alternative environments. It would be great if I was able to push up my own docker image for the environment so I could include dependencies for examples that are more realistic for my company's problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can easily switch between different types of code
Interactive
No Lag
Can record the coding experience
No need to do a very lengthy login Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I mainly use it for doing SQL interviews. People are using different SQL formats to write query. Is it possible CodePad can help us identify whether their query can run or they are using the right format by specific SQL type? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We like to be able to collaborate, watch, and hear the candidate work through the coding challenges. It helps us all understand the mindset for each problem. After we got setup, it was easy to use and start-up right before an interview! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside starting out for us was getting set up. It was cumbersome to start, and we lost some of our initial coding challenges and never figured out where they went. We would like to see improvements on the user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- It is running very fast and responsive
- It allows code to compile and run, which is not possible in many other alternative platforms
- It allows interviewers to write down private notes, and it records the whole process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- It is expensive, especially for small companies. I would suggest to have some lite version with limited functionalities for small companies.
- It would be better to also provide drawing pad, which will be helpful for describing questions better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quick to setup, easy for the candidate to get into the flow. Full feature development enviroment with analysis, static checking etc. Makes it a much more natural experience rather than a simple shared word doc for example Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be interesting to have other static analysis tools available, for example we do a lot of embedded C code, and it'd be great to have the likes of cppcheck or even PC-Lint integrated into the tool to bring it closer to reality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used CoderPad to prepare for coding and system design interviews, and I found it a beneficial tool. The interface was intuitive and easy to use, and I appreciated the ability to collaborate with an interviewer in real time.
One of the things I liked most about CoderPad was its functionality, with great support for iOS coding. It offered all the tools and features I needed to complete my practice interviews, including syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, and the ability to run code directly on the platform. I also appreciated the whiteboard feature, which is excellent for preparing for a system design interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The whiteboard feature needs some improvements for better usability. Usually, I found it difficult to modify existing drawings during interviews. It would be great if CoderPad allowed users to group & ungroup shapes, and the groups could be draggable (similar to Lucid charts). Also, it would be even more helpful if we could export or import some drawings or pictures from a local computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found it was pretty easy to get started and that candidates didn't have any issues. Seeing the updates in real-time as week as having some private notepads was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish that there were tests that candidates could run to test their code. Also the place where you are looking to move questions into livepad was could us some UX improvements to make it more clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
