    We’re invested in creating an inclusive environment that welcomes a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.

We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to work because when we all do, we’re better for it.

Whether it’s our hackathons (a company-wide effort to envision new possibilities for our product) or sharing our prototypes, we see experimentation as a crucial step on the path to success.

    \n
  • \n
  • \n

    We’re committed to creating world-class employee experiences and are proud of the recognition of this by Great Place to Work. Learn more about our certification here and find out what it's like to work at Udemy on our blog.
