Pros

Culture in SF office is amazing and most employees are intelligent, helpful and positive. There’s a sense of purpose and mission driven by the employees and executive management.

Cons

The APAC culture is the opposite of what you would see and experience with other regions. Hire bias is prevalent and the APAC leadership is short sighted and has weak strategic vision which will eventually sink the careers of talented employees here.

Pros

- Decent pay and benefits: Udemy offers competitive compensation and a solid benefits package. - Great colleagues: While the culture at Udemy has devolved over time, there are still many fantastic people to work with. Collaborating with such individuals can be both enjoyable and enriching. - Prominence in the edtech industry: Udemy is a well-recognized name in the field of online education, which makes it an exciting place to be, especially if you're passionate about the industry. - Potential to be a leader in industry: Udemy has a lot of untapped potential, especially if the right leadership team is in place. With the right strategies, the company could achieve greater success.

Cons

- Stagnant growth opportunities: One of the most significant downsides is the lack of room for growth within the company. Management appears to favor certain employees for promotions, often ignoring the potential of others. This bias towards in-office employees can be demoralizing for those working remotely. - Internal conflicts in the sales department: The sales department at Udemy is marred by internal conflicts, including account poaching and account-selling without proper communication. Management seems to turn a blind eye to these issues, which negatively affects team cohesion and performance. - Slow product innovation: The product team at Udemy is notorious for being slow to innovate. This has resulted in Udemy losing its competitive edge to rival companies. It's unclear whether the management team is unaware of this problem or chooses to ignore it.
