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

’Do well by doing good’ guides my work, and Coursera makes that possible. It’s rare to work at a tech company with such a clear, positive impact and I’m proud to be part of it.

Luiz Gonzaga dos Santos Filho, Senior Engineering Manager

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.
