What's the Company Culture Like at Udemy?

Here at Udemy, there is liberty in trying new things. There is no fear of failure because failure is simply a lesson learned, and the data we get from failure often can impact the direction we need to go anyway. There’s also a sense of camaraderie in that everybody is jointly on a mission to create awesome results while still enjoying every piece of the journey, regardless of triumphs or tribulations.

We’re a very collaborative and people-oriented culture. Within my day-to-day, there’s a lot of encouragement to both go to the data and follow my professional instinct. Our combined thirst to learn and develop through experience really facilitates our culture.

When I describe our culture, I say it is “earnestly authentic.” People can bring their true selves to work, and most — if not all — Udemates are big learners. They likely have chosen to be here because of our mission to impact the world from a learning perspective, and they naturally have the desire to learn, grow, develop and improve lives — for themselves to others along the way. We’re naturally curious, and we really care about each other.

How long have you been with Udemy? What made you know it was the right spot for you?

I’ve been with Udemy for over six years, and it’s been an incredible journey. What really resonated with me from the start was the mission of transforming lives through learning and making education available and easily accessible globally. Every day brings something new and a chance to learn and grow alongside some truly amazing folks.

What ultimately convinced me that this was the right spot for me was the opportunities for growth and learning. Whether it’s diving into new technologies, exploring innovative ideas or honing my soft skills through collaboration, there’s always something new to discover. This environment constantly challenges me to push my boundaries and expand my technical expertise and interpersonal skills, aligning perfectly with the evolving demands of the skills-based economy where reskilling and upskilling outweigh pedigree.
 

What’s your favorite part about your office?

My favorite aspect of our office isn’t confined to one spot: what I love most is the vibrant atmosphere and collaborative spirit. From impromptu brainstorming sessions to the synergy of working alongside passionate colleagues, the collective energy and teamwork make coming to the office exciting.

Describe Udemy’s culture in one word.
