Analogy Coursera's name implies "The age of the curriculum", Udemy also has its special meaning. "Udemy" by "You" plus "academy" synthesis, on behalf of "your university" (saying that the Silicon Valley MOOCs the name of the way is very simple indeed AH). It was founded with more than 5 million registered people and has more than 22000 courses.

Unlike other online educational platforms, Udemy not only opens a variety of courses, but also opens up opportunities for teaching. That is to say, you can be a teacher as long as you want to. Users can learn any course on the platform at any time, or they can set up their own courses to introduce their expertise and knowledge to the whole world. For example, the new year is coming, you especially will have a variety of decoration and baking skills, Ok, apply for a course, may be fire.

In addition to providing Web pages, Udemy also offers apps under iOS and Android, allowing users to learn at their own pace, not limited by time, place, or equipment.

This is the front desk of Udemy, full of Christmas and New Year atmosphere. Mosaic painted cottage and candy plus warm yellow light, feeling Meng Meng.

Guest Lounge: Graffiti on the wall is the company's staff to draw on the OH ~ continue to Meng Meng ~ "Hip hop hippo, not a special hip-hop hippo." From the graffiti on the wall, is it possible to see the Udemy designer's wayward fun?

Pantry + Restaurant: With many Silicon Valley companies, as well as 36 krypton (hiahia~), coffee machines, refrigerators, beverage cabinets, snack area, readily available. Look at the food table tempting roast chicken, vegetable and fruit salad, French stick ... Is the saliva going to flow down? Take whatever you want. Rich, willful.

In the lounge area next to the restaurant, Udemy employees can discuss work issues with their colleagues while eating a delicious lunch. (Same as 36 krypton ^_^)

Tired of work, sit on a soft stool with colleagues for a cup of coffee chat day.

Group meeting, Start! Udemy's group meeting will be held in such a small space. Everyone sat on the couch talking about project this week.

Big Group Meeting! This clearing is the place where the Convention is to be opened. Everyone will find a stool or even sit on the ground for a meeting.

Refer to the competitor's interface.

Internet companies how can lack of reference books, Python, Ruby, Web design one can not be less! Although there are few books on the bookshelf, they are classic classics.

Udemy employees still love to come to the office, and decorate the ground to continue to be very meng.

CEO to Supervisor to staff, udemy all staff are sitting in an open workspace space. No cubicles, no small offices (well, I'm still the same on Krypton). This uphold the classic Silicon Valley start-up company style, reduce the gap between the team members, to facilitate the exchange, improve the whole team spirit of cooperation!

The five great deities were both udemy employees and udemy lecturers, so they boarded the "Udemite instructor Hall of Fame" (Udemy Hall of Fame).

There is a tradition in Udemy that if a newcomer joins the team or has a major announcement, the gong will be sounded and filled with ritual.

Finally, borrow the corner of Udemy Office, I wish you a happy New Year!
