CodeSignal is a technical interview and assessment platform operated by American company BrainFights, Inc. It was founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco.
CodeSignal, initially called CodeFights, was founded in 2014 [1] [2] by Tigran Sloyan, Aram Shatakhtsyan, and Felix Desroches.
CodeFights provided a platform for developers to compete in head-to-head timed coding challenges. [3] In 2017, CodeFights began to offer an interview practice mode. [4]

The CodeSignal platform consists of Tech Screen, Pre-Screen, and Interview products used by technical recruiters and hiring managers to source and qualify candidates for software engineering positions. Users select from a bank of coding tasks, create custom coding questions, or use a skills assessment framework like the General Coding Assessment (GCA). CodeSignal is a cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) product that integrates with applicant tracking systems (ATS) like Greenhouse and Lever.
OS/2 is a series of computer operating systems, initially created by Microsoft and IBM under the leadership of IBM software designer Ed Iacobucci. As a result of a feud between the two companies over how to position OS/2 relative to Microsoft's new Windows 3.1 operating environment, the two companies severed the relationship in 1992 and OS/2 development fell to IBM exclusively. The name stands for "Operating System/2", because it was introduced as part of the same generation change release as IBM's "Personal System/2 (PS/2)" line of second-generation personal computers. The first version of OS/2 was released in December 1987 and newer versions were released until December 2001.

Companies whose business centers on the development of open-source software employ a variety of business models to solve the challenge of how to make money providing software that is by definition licensed free of charge. Each of these business strategies rests on the premise that users of open-source technologies are willing to purchase additional software features under proprietary licenses, or purchase other services or elements of value that complement the open-source software that is core to the business. This additional value can be, but not limited to, enterprise-grade features and up-time guarantees to satisfy business or compliance requirements, performance and efficiency gains by features not yet available in the open source version, legal protection, or professional support/training/consulting that are typical of proprietary software applications.
