I participated while in high school and university and kept having fun on Codeforces[1]. It's a great community with very frequent tournaments and they always have detailed explanations of the expected solutions after the tournaments.

As few comments already mentioned, post college, preparing for this type of thing immensely helps in job interviews. I find it very hard to clear job interviews and in 2017 alone, I appeared for ~25 job interviews. I'm very convinced that competitive programming skills gives you a leg up in job interviews.
Many people may already may know this, but Peter Norvig indicated that it correlates poorly with on the job performance (at least at Google) [1]. I wonder why, then, companies still continue to do this style of interviews.
