Why Coursera

Coursera's combination with Udemy is complete, and the company describes the result as the world's most comprehensive skills platform. The two now serve learners, enterprises and partner institutions as one business, so new hires join the combined company.

Inside, Coursera runs on seven Leadership Mindsets that it calls its cultural DNA, including "Decide, move, and learn fast," "Simplify ruthlessly" and "One vision, one team." The last one comes with a working norm: "We move in sync, not in silos." The company builds AI fluency on a set schedule, with monthly Spark AI Learning sessions and quarterly, hackathon-style Spark Build Days. Employee resource groups such as Queersera, Comunidad, Mental Health Allies and the Green Team give people a community outside their own team.
