There is a fair amount of content that is tailored toward different professional goal. The website is nice and easy to use however I removed 2 stars for:
1) The accuracy of the content: I spotted a bunch of issue in their courses, sometime the author is saying the positive of the truth.
2) Clarity of the content: the provided content is not always clear. It often lacks explanation or clarification.
I've looked the experience of some of their contributors, according to their LinkedIn profile, they are not experienced software engineers. Some of them are actually straight out of university. Which shows on the content quality.
Educative has good courses and materials but their no refund policy is very scammy. They did not send an email to remind you that you will be resubscribed. Please stay away!
I was gonna give it 2 stars because the course was quite ok, but the problems outweigh the good parts. First of all, the annual membership gets renewed without any warning. I'm aware that's not a new tactic and many companies do the same, but that doesn't make it ok.
Now comes the worst part: one of their course's modules, which I had already completed 80% of, started to throw an error on one of the last topics. It was not only annoying but it also broke the whole course because I couldn't navigate out of it to another topic. I could start other modules but I couldn't finish that one. When I sent them a message about it, they said it had been fixed. How they fixed it?? They replaced the whole module with a new one and I lost all my progress and potentially any notes I had made in the app! When I confronted them about that "fix", they just stopped messaging back.
Very unprofessional, would never recommend!
Not worth it at all. Took the subscription and did not used it for more than a month. Moreover, the website has auto-renewal which automatically reviews your subscription even when you don't want it. You can't even get refund due to websites weird refund policy. This website is all a scam
