Pros

Great company culture.

Good environment for engineers and lots of ways to learn about other things.

Ability to take any course on the platform for free.

(With the recent change) Good benefit for learning outside of Udemy platform: The management provides $1500 per employee to be spent for career advancement.

Friendly HR, very approachable managers and leadership team.

Cross-collaboration among teams is good and people are approachable.

Focus on becoming a learning company is great.

Cons

Product managers are not senior enough; they are not reliable to set a product vision.

Priorities change a lot.

The product's look and feel are not consistent. Designers produce inconsistent work, both within a platform and across platforms.

Advice to Management

For product managers: Learn the product in depth. When proposing a change, think about the consequences on other parts early on instead of acting after the change. Hire better product managers or invest in those you have in this position. For product/design managers: Invest time and resources to unify the look and feel, and the experience in the products and across platforms.
