What do you like best about CoderPad?

CoderPad provided a smooth and professional environment for conducting technical coding interviews with good collaboration features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

Occasionally there can be minor lag during peak usage times, and some advanced IDE features that developers are used to (like advanced autocomplete or debugging tools) are not available. The pricing might be on the higher side for smaller companies. Sometimes the interface could benefit from more customization options for different interview styles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoderPad?

I recently took an exam on CoderPad and was impressed with its advanced features, especially for image detection coding. The platform’s UI for the coding simulator was clean, intuitive, and made the overall experience smooth and efficient. It’s well-suited for real-world coding assessments and helped me focus on problem-solving without distractions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

In some cases, the information provided for the test cases is limited, which makes it harder to understand the expected input-output behavior. More detailed test case descriptions or examples would be helpful for better clarity during problem-solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoderPad?

What I like best about CoderPad is how seamlessly it mimics a real coding environment during interviews. It allows for real-time collaboration, supports multiple languages, and includes features like syntax highlighting and running code — which makes it easy to demonstrate not just the solution, but the thought process behind it. It keeps the interview focused on problem-solving rather than tooling friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

One thing I dislike about CoderPad is that it can sometimes feel limiting compared to a full-fledged IDE — especially when working on more complex problems that require advanced debugging, file structuring, or libraries that aren’t supported out of the box. Additionally, network lag or rendering delays can slightly affect the real-time collaboration experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoderPad?

1. The ability to record and see the history of each interview.

2. The drawing pad, which helps me draw and ask, lets the candidate draw and describe certain concepts.

3. Compiler and auto code completion are also good.

4. A private area for interviewer notes and an AI look-up section is also useful in some cases.

5. You can have a set of questions already set before an interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

Pricing is a little on the higher side, though for custom plans you can connect with the sales team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoderPad?

No setup required, instantly change your language and even have a replay available. We did not use any other features like drawing, but were still perfectly satisfied. Pricing is fair for businesses that are in the position to have more than 2 interviews a week. Generous 2 week trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

There's nothing i would change here. At least nothing i can think of right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoderPad?

Very interactive platform with questions that are very clearly explained. I love the dark theme and the very wide layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoderPad?

Some questions had weird time limits, sometimes not reflecting their real difficulty. This has left me sometimes with scenarios where I would underestimate a question and not be able to answer it in time, or the opposite effect where I would answer a question with a lot of time to spare. The team needs to review the time it takes (on average) to answer some questions and adjust that accordingly. Thanks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
