Yup. Check out TopCoder[1]. They have regular programming contests every week or so. The contests are conducted in two divisions(amateur - div 2) and (pro - div 1) and candidates are assigned different colors on the basis of their performance. Becoming a red coder in TopCoder is a pretty big thing in the competitive programming community. For example, Adam D Angelo who is the co-founder of Quora used to be Red on Topcoder[2]. Most of the red coders of TopCoder get hired by companies like Google, Facebook etc. It's pretty hard for one to fuck up a competitive programming interview once you became a Red level candidate in TopCoder. Mark Zuckerberg also tried TopCoder for a few months while in Harvard [3].
CodeForces[4] also has a pretty big online community. I think it has become more popular than TopCoder these days. They also have regular contests every few days.
Facebook[5] and Google[6] also hosts competitive programming contests every year. If you managed to make it to the final round I think they would invite you for an interview. 1 https://www.topcoder.com/ 2 https://www.topcoder.com/members/dangelo/ 3 https://www.topcoder.com/members/mzuckerberg 4 http://codeforces.com 5 https://www.facebook.com/hackercup/ 6 https://code.google.com/codejam/ |
