I can't give specific feedback, but the company I work at evaluated HackerRank for our hiring process (analytics, data science, data engineering). We ended up using Coderpad though and mostly us it to evaluate Python skills (I guess some SQL as well). We'are using it during our interview process for small live coding session - I've seen similar in at least one other company.

Unfortunately I don't know why we didn't choose HackerRank in the end. LeetCode was also an option but it didn't really fit what we wanted to test for.

Thanks for the transparency. We will continue to get better at making it easy to get started

I think a general problem with most of these problems is that they’re biased towards how big US tech companies recruit.

However non-tech companies also want to assess coding skills but don’t care about algorithms & data structures.

A bunch of programmers today are not software engineers but analysts, data scientists, data engineers. So it might be worthwhile to examine how to access these applicants‘ skills.

For example for DS roles more Kaggle like real life problems might be suited better.
