What do you like best about CoderPad?

It just works, the make or break of each interview happens in polglot. Pretty ui, the python runs, no major complaints. Similar to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

When asked "brain teasers", the shared text pad does not feel fully enabled. It probably exists, but would be nice to more forcefully show interviews how to create "saved problems"... its something you only think of when it is too late. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachael Brandt of CoderPad

Tom, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad to read you enjoy using CoderPad. I've sent your note on "brain teasers" back to my team so they can review this.

I don’t have complaints about CoderPad, but it would be great to have more simplified how-to guides on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoderPad?

I found the CodinGame interface very solid and consistent. I enjoyed how everything was structured and easily found my way around (navigation). It was such a joyful experience, even though it was an interview assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

There was a stage where I was just watching the animations instead of coding! :D ... Perhaps it's not exactly a dislike... The animations are great and make the content more engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Molly Lindsay of CoderPad

Thanks for the feedback, Nkululeko! I'm glad you enjoyed using CoderPad Screen. I'm a big fan of the gamified questions myself. :)

What do you like best about CoderPad?

Good coding environment, ability to switch programming languages, IDE autocomplete, warnings and help functionality. Ability to replay the recording with varying speeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

Another person is not able to see when I am typing something that is not currently visible on the screen. Should have an indicator to scroll up/down to see the new changes. Also, annoying temporary disconnections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Molly Lindsay of CoderPad

Glad to hear you're using code playback! I'm sharing your feedback about indications of recent changes with our team, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the connectivity issues are likely related to candidate's internet connection.

UPDATE: The ability to follow someone's typing is coming soon!

What do you like best about CoderPad?

I like that I am able to have seamless interactions with interview candidates. We are able to run their code and also adapt the environment to whichever language they prefer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

My only hesitation with the continued use of coderpad is the presence of non-paid alternatives. The most common one I use is replit, I just do not see why it would make sense to pay for coderpad if I can use replit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Molly Lindsay of CoderPad

Hi Nazer - Thanks for taking the time for your review. We should have some new features in CoderPad in the next few weeks that I think you will find valuable, stay tuned! Also, thanks for the feedback on the plans. We do have a free plan, which I hope you're taking advantage of, and we're looking for more ways to make that more valuable, I'd love your thoughts on this.
