Ventajas

Now, it ain't all bad news at this company. They got themselves a fair and reasonable CEO, who's a strong leader and leads by example. And, from what I can gather, there's a sizable People team with lots of seniors and Director levels. That's a good thing, 'cause it means they're serious about taking care of their employees. Plus, I gotta say, I appreciate that the CEO took the time to address some of the unfounded criticism she was getting in earlier reviews. It's easy to jump on the bandwagon and pile on, but it takes some real leadership to look at the big picture and make the tough decisions. So, yeah, there's some cons to this company, but there's also some pros. It's all about finding the right balance and making sure everyone's doing their part.

Desventajas

The cons of working at this company? First off, they got some serious blind spots. They're letting some execs coast along, collecting fat paychecks without doing much work. And then there's this Chief People Officer dude - nobody knows what he does, but he's one of the CEO's faves, so he gets to stick around and collect a paycheck too. But, the biggest con of all might just be those golden handcuffs. The execs are getting paid so much that they're not gonna leave on their own. And, that means there's not a lot of incentive for them to step up and do their best work. That's a real problem, man.

Since the time you left your review, our executive leadership team has had a complete makeover and is adequate for the stage we’re at. As I mentioned in a few other responses, we experienced hyper growth due to the booming demand in 2020 and 2021. As a result, our executive team was built for hyper growth and scale. When the downturn happened, we found ourselves with too much structure, too much process, and too top heavy. We have corrected this over the last few quarters and now run a lean and tight ship.

Ventajas

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.

Desventajas

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.

Ventajas

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

Desventajas

- 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.
