What's It Like to Work at Coursera + Udemy ?

Coursera + Udemy Employee Perspectives

Udemy is building a skills-based workplace where employees are evaluated and developed according to their capabilities rather than relying only on degrees, tenure or seniority. By embedding skills into hiring, performance management, internal mobility and succession planning, the company aims to create a more adaptable workforce while giving employees clearer opportunities to grow.

“By focusing on becoming a skills-based organization, we have the potential to produce meaningful business outcomes and increase productivity, agility and business continuity while filling skills gaps.”

Karen Fascenda, Chief People Officer

Coursera + Udemy Employee Reviews

My favorite thing about working at Udemy is waking up knowing that my day-to-day has a direct impact on making the world a better place by providing more equitable and accessible education opportunities.

Ned, Manager, Emerging Sales

We ask team members to spend at least 10% of their time on a project of their choosing that could help achieve Udemy's OKRs. This is an opportunity for them to do something that will feed into their interests while making an even bigger impact on our company. One project with The Last Mile helped incarcerated individuals re-enter the workplace.

Han, Senior Manager, Customer Success

As someone who pushes the envelope and likes to look toward the future, I felt like Udemy was the right place for me.

Cyndia Chambers, Enterprise Customer Success Manager

I'm fascinated by Udemy's commitment to building localized solutions for emerging countries like India, where there is a huge need for affordable upskilling to meet labor demands. I’m very excited to be part of Udemy’s journey to enable learners to meet their career goals.

Rajesh Ramachandran, Head of Mobile, Emerging Markets

Udemy's greatness lies in its people; we embody our values daily in our actions and treatment of each other.
