Pros

-The team that still remains after the core team left are fun to be around -Rather flexible working from home vs going into the office if you live out of the city. -A good product overall with little issues. -Prospects can see value right away making sell-ability at a mid-market level good.

Cons

The company makes odd promotions with people that are under performing, and the leadership of sales wants to hire people that are not as smart as they are.Combined with her never being available and giving worthless conference call meetings a good sales person will find rather quickly the sales leader should not be in that position. Advice for interviewing, don't ask too many questions. The CEO is hardly every around, and the COO is clueless most of the time. They have no enterprise play. Got to the point where the leading enterprise rep left, and the other one has to split leads with the mid-market. They keep on talking about "funding, " but it's clear investors are staying clear. Marketing would not know what an MQL lead was if it flew in and hit them in the face. The company says they will "support you, " but the real problem is they don't know what real support is. If they had a BD manager that may help. They have no BD team because of Marketing and Sales not speaking the same message, and unfortunately, marking finds it not to be their responsibility to provide lead enrichment. Overall, on the surface, things looked promising, a lot of potential overall but with the current leadership team and a competitor taking the majority of business they probably won't last long. Don't join if you're looking for a long term company or a win in the end.

Pros

It’s hard to put into words just how much I enjoy working at Codility. It has given me everything I was looking for - career growth opportunities, a high degree of autonomy and trust, supportive teammates who truly want to collaborate, a competitive salary, great benefits, and the flexibility of a remote work environment with near-complete freedom in how I structure my day. I love that, if I want to focus entirely on coding for the day, I can. If I want to lead and organize - for myself and others - I can. And if I want to understand our customers’ sentiments better, I can simply join the Product team on their next call. This environment might not be for everyone - ownership and coding excellence are expected - but for those who thrive in such conditions, it’s incredibly rewarding. I also appreciate how people are recognized for their achievements and initiative. If you’re someone who values that kind of recognition, this is a place where you’ll feel right at home. I can see myself working here for many years to come.

Cons

Since this isn’t an enormous organization (only around 100 people), ownership is relatively easy to discern - and it’s expected. At times, this can be a bit stressful, although managers do everything in their power to help alleviate that pressure. Additionally, given the startup environment, changes in workforce composition and strategic direction aren’t uncommon - especially at the executive level - which can occasionally lead to periods of uncertainty. That said, I’ve yet to see a change that resulted in a net negative outcome. One genuine concern I have is that the career paths and growth criteria are not yet formally defined. This can create uncertainty around when, how, and on what basis to ask for a promotion or a raise. That said, there have been recent efforts to improve this, and progress is underway.

Pros

- plenty of work, not boring - in an industry facing interesting challenges

Cons

- extremely slow to adopt AI internally and in the product and falling behind as a result - reactive, emotional executives chasing shiny objects - outcome expectations unrealistic/misaligned to resources - losing huge customers mostly down to declining relevance of product offering

We have reasons to believe that this was submitted by a former GTM employee that has joined competition and intends to use this review in their sales process to discredit Codility. As such, it is factually incorrect. Codility was first to market with AI skills assessments and is pioneering AI native engineering interviews. Our team members across all functions use AI daily. In 2025 we have won several competitive RFPs with world's largest organizations due to our product relevance and superiority.
