Pros

Free material to learn, fast growing. Lots of learning.

Cons

Don't fall for the positive reviews, most of Udemy reviews are fake! For example there are 5 reviews on one day (Oct 17, 2019), and suspicious clusters of reviews in Udemy's history. Udemy's work culture is toxic and especially condescending to new employees. There is a ton of turnover and burnout. Senior leadership is a joke. I've had management training and in some cases was a lot more experienced than some people around me, yet somehow was treated like I was a junior engineer. I am glad I left.

Pros

It's an interesting solution and customers generally get value from what Udemy offers.

Cons

They don't know how to sell it. the GTM has has years, not one or two, YEARS of horrible attainment. They do not know how to sell this solution or bring it to market in a meaningful way.
