What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Coursera + Udemy ?

What People Are Saying About Coursera + Udemy

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Hybrid-by-default expectations (about two in-office days for those near an office) and remote options elsewhere let many align work with personal routines. Company materials describe this cadence as compatible with day-to-day life for a wide range of roles.
  • Time Off Access: Exempt employees use a flexible, non-accrual time-off policy and the company designates meeting-free “UDays,” making it easier to step away or recover focus. This structure is portrayed as supportive of taking time when needed, within the context of team deliverables.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Parental leave, a two-week ease-back for returning parents, family-building assistance, and mental health resources (e.g., Modern Health and Headspace) are emphasized. These supports reinforce balance by addressing caregiving and mental health needs.
