Udemy Career Growth & Development 2026

Udemy Employee Perspectives

Udemy allows you the flexibility to jump into different side projects, have cross-functional collaboration, show up “earnestly authentic” as your whole self, and discuss where you want to go and what you want to do. We’ve seen people transition from customer success to marketing, facilities to support, and even email marketing to back-end engineering. There’s no one right way to build your career here.

Always learning’ is a core value at Udemy, and based on that value, we have identified a skill of engaging in constructive debate with one another that allows us to learn more effectively. Our employees are encouraged to use their UDays to build skills and model our ‘always learning’ value.

Udemy Employee Reviews

Even though we've IPO'ed and the company has grown substantially, the mission has stayed the same. In fact, the new value - courageously experimental - is exactly what I'm about. As someone who pushes the envelope and likes to look toward the future, Udemy is the right place for me.

Cyndia, Enterprise Customer Success Manager

Udemy is strongly committed to investing in its employee's career growth through regular performance evaluations, ongoing feedback, and cross-functional training and development. Our leadership team also encourages open communication and collaboration with managers to ensure my career path is tailored to my unique strengths and aspirations.

Yukie, Senior Channel Customer Success Manager, Japanese Market

I like that Udemy encourages learning, and we even have a monthly DEAL hour, where they ask everyone to DEAL, which is Drop Everything And Learn. One of our values is "always learning."

Wynne, Senior Software Engineer
