- demopathos 4y agoI felt pretty proud of myself when I scored 99 percentile on a codesignal exam. Especially since I consider many of their tests to be more legitimate than leetcode. Some of their tests though are odd. I don't think the bugfix style is that good. But that also might be because I would just rewrite a buggy function
- lolsal 4y agoIn my experience, coding tests for fresh graduates is a pretty terrible metric for how well that person would perform as a member of a software development team for business applications. Data/science/research is a different story with a different skillset.
- strikelaserclaw 4y agowhats the point of even caring about what school a person went to if you can rank candidates based on some test score?
- coward123 4y agoI've been out of software for about two years...is this test really now a thing or is this a submarine article to promote its use?
- gepeake 4y agoThis is voluntary data, the average CS grad from Berkeley doesn’t need a code signal test to find a job. The cream of the crop at Swarthmore likely does.
- 908B64B197 4y agoI've never heard of the General Coding Assessment. I don't know anyone who ever put his or her score on a resume and have never heard of it from anyone in the valley. What's the point for a student to take it?
