it was really amazing. I was pleased with the code review they provided and how they explained each part of it with a description. It' s really a very good practice to give code review like this and the developer/engineer can learn a lot from it.
Pros
It's easy to use and the tests are described perfectly, i like how they send me a very detailed review.
Cons
They can improve the coding challange part as this one need bit more detailed question and less usage of externel api as sometimes it can be confusing eve for a very experienced developer.

Woven seems like a fair and informative way to assess a developer's expertise before taking the time to interview them or go through whiteboard assessements. I had a very positive experience with the two Woven assessments I've been through so far. The feedback I received on my assessments was reasonable and encouraging, and suggested ways that I can improve.
Pros
Receiving feedback is vital for improvement. As a job applicant, Woven provided me with feedback that helped me understand what I needed to learn to improve my qualifications. Even before my evaluation, it directed me to resources to help me refresh my topical knowledge, and let me take a mock evaluation for practice.
Cons
I have no complaints. The system was easy to learn and use.
Thanks for the great review Carl!

Woven is the new way to get talented individuals on your team. They assess technical as well as soft skills so you know that the Dev you're thinking about bringing onto your team will actually work with your team! They take a very personalized approach to the assessment process which shows they are giving you and your team the respect and attention they deserve. I feel great about working with Woven in the future.
Pros
You're probably used to getting the same old DSA assessments with zero real-world relevance: like "invert a binary search tree" - not with Woven.
The technical assessment is superb. It encompasses real-world scenarios and is graded much more care and consideration than "make it pass these unit tests"
With Woven, I had a real person look over my solutions and give me great personalized feedback on what they liked and what I could improve on. The whole experience felt very collaborative.
2000% would recommend.
Cons
The directions could be a little more clear but overall their platform is very good.
I didn't try dark mode but at least its there - making the interface look more like VSC may lead to some better results during assessments as its familiar and easier to "think in code"
UI could use a little more modernized polish but the platform has a great base.

Pros
* The platform is very intuitive to use
* Test that give you feedback about the code you are writing before submitting
* The feedback provided is outstanding, it is clear they take their time to review your assignment
Cons
* Probably state more clearly some of their expectations
Thanks for the feedback Luis! We will work on communicating expectations better.

Pros
Extremely helpful and detailed responses for every portion of the test coupled up with concrete examples to take action on made this top notch feedback
Encouraging way of communicating what was viewed as positive and what could be improved on
Cons
I could not name something I liked least, so if I had to make something up I would say an area of improvement would be: to have a timer included somewhere in the interface instead of having the user set there own.
