Pros

- resources to online courses - home office set up fund, internet connection/phone perks - the brand and online platform are great - lots of multi cultural events

Cons

- there seemed to be lots of busy people, but not sure what they were busy for - poor management, no clear direction - there was lack of trust in the team, which could be very toxic - communication and processes took time, a lot of time - didn’t see opportunities of career development ... kind of sad for an online education company - departmental silos

Lacks a cohesive strategy, Udemy + Coursera merger is a mess (no strategy, treatment of people is poor), communication is lacking, little career advancement.
