HackerEarth for Developers

What do you like best?

The hackathons feature that lets us showcase our skills and get hired by the companies that sponsor them is a fantastic feature. This is also a good opportunity to practice and keep up to date with the skills that help us perform well in the interviews and in general at our workplace with good code design documentations that are also provided. I also loved the blogs feature that had articles and simplified ways to solve problems that greatly helped me boost my confidence and become more efficient in coding.

What do you dislike?

No support for PM / Designers to practice their skills on the platform. Also, the IDE can be a bit buggy at times during contests peak times. Another feature which i didn't necessarily like was the team collab feature, it was very difficult to see a person's actual experience with coding when adding them to the hackathon team. Something else that I was really expecting was if hacker earth had a feature where they could show what skill sets the user had and what languages were they familiar with.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Make sure you're familiar with all feature sets and use cases of the platform before fully going all in and implementing it.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Algorithmic, database related. Benefits have been multi fold where i was able to crack a lot of interviews and be recognized by companies. I got hired by HackerEarth for my very first job out of college.
