HackerRank
About HackerRank
HackerRank is a cloud-based technical skills assessment software that enables businesses to identify and evaluate developers' skills, conduct remote interviews, and track candidate performance on a centralized platform. Using the built-in content library, recruiters can create customizable hiring assessments based on specific job roles including software, back-end, front-end, full-stack or DevOps engineers, interns, data scientists, and Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET).
HackerRank allows enterprises to communicate with applicants via audio or video chat, view feedback notes from interviewers, evaluate candidates' designing skills on a virtual whiteboard, and save created drawings for future review. Users can secure workflows by configuring access permissions as well as prevent unauthorized data exploitation through single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. Hiring teams can utilize CodeScreen to conduct online coding tests with various programming languages, enabling them to assess applicants’ technical skills and evaluate test results using manual, automated, or custom scoring methods. Businesses can streamline hiring processes by sending assessment links to candidates and setting up cutoff scores according to organizational requirements.
HackerRank facilitates integration with various third-party applicant tracking systems (ATS) such as Workday, Jobvite, and more. Administrators can monitor the performance funnel to track the entire hiring process as well as utilize the dashboard to gain visibility into improvement areas.

This helps me teaching and giving tasks to the students as there are problem sets already available for all kind of students, thus a wide option for me to learn and make others learn. Also the facility of making online contest helps me to pick best of the students. Thus making things simpler and reducing tedious works.
Pros
Ease of access and interactive interface with enough resources for learning. The best thing about this community is that you can easily start learning programming from scratch.
It has well upgraded compilers. It makes you available for competitive programming. Great platform for beginners to advanced developers.
Recently featured certificate programs have made the portal more competitive, thus influencing everyone for happy coding.
Cons
There are some problem statements on the advanced level where the results produced by your program are correct and matches with the expected results but seems that you dont get points. And their response to suggest edits didnt happened.

In the event that an employer sends me to this page to take a test, I would simply tell them that I refuse to give it,
Other friends (all senior software engineer) have had the same problems and have made the same decision
Pros
it is just a training for your skills, but it should not be used to test applicants, as you will discard many good programmers
Cons
Use tests that are not seen in real life. if you see them, this is the second time I use it to test skills in nodeJS, as in the case of API tests. forces to use an old https module that nobody uses, and that one is forced to surf the internet to see how to use it within the test. losing more than half of the time limit. Also, developers usually use better tools for debugging. Also, sometimes the instructions are vague or the use cases are strange.

Great way to learn coding basics and improve your reputability
Reviewed on 2018-06-11
Coding reputability, practice, and a great coding community.
Coding reputability, practice, and a great coding community.
Pros
- Free, fun way to learn a lot of different important coding concepts.
- A great next step from Codeacademy. The challenges appeal to people of all skill levels, the lessons help beginners, and the forums are a great place to learn more.
- Online code processing is fast, allows for own user input
- To be honest, the design is also quite good. A lot of how a "challenge" goes is dependent on how the author writes it, but I find a lot of them to be designed well.
Cons
- There is definitely a learning curve if you've never read from stdin. That isn't a big deal, but is definitely a weird concept to grasp if you've only done Codeacademy tutorials.
- Certain algorithms are hard to figure out to the point that I stop learning and would prefer to view the answer (as to actually learn how it works). This is difficult at times - which is not always bad, but definitely has its downsides

Overall, its a good place for any programmer, students, teacher, and to anybody whos willing to learn something new. The application has a beautiful eye catching UI, and lovely badges to earn, enough motivation to cheer up to keep going, theres nothing much to complain about. I would highly recommend this software to any of my students as well.
Pros
HackerRank is a software which is used to certify your skills in Computer Science. I love that it provides us to practice, certify, compete, find a job, and the world leaderboard to see where you are. It simply is an all in one place to go from a beginner to an expert level. It's great that it provides everything from the very beginning, therefore I can learn without missing even the little bit of knowledge.
Cons
In my experience, theres nothing much that I really don't like about this software. However, I would like to see the mobile application development of this software as well, therefore its easy on the go to learn, and also earn the certificates.
