Does InterviewMan work on Codility? First impressions after a practice run, want real opinions
I had some leftover credit and the company i was prepping for sent over a Codility test for the next round so I pulled the trigger on InterviewMan annual.
I strongly believe in using a real desktop coding helper over a browser based one for Codility for stealth reasons. That being said I have done 3 Codility tests with a web wrapper without it being flagged. Doesnt mean it was the right thing to do.
Anyways, I installed it and tried it on a Codility practice run last night and while I will keep using it because of the whole stealth thing, I'm super impressed with the response time. A typical Electron app would have made me wait 3-4 seconds for a hint, these things land in like a second flat. The latency drop is the real killer feature actually, even on harder problems the nudge arrives before I have time to spiral. If it was my own money on a more expensive tool, those slower ones would be returned. Since this is twelve bucks a month on annual and I do want to land this job (and bonus, it works on both Codility and CoderPad), I will keep it and use it for the real test on tuesday.
But i still want a sanity check, anyone here used it on a real proctored Codility, did it stay clean on the report.
