Extremely dissatisfied with Educative io. Despite unsubscribing, they continued to charge me without notification. Their lack of transparency and ongoing charges indicate questionable practices and potential money stealing. BE CAREFULL! no responsible at all
Cons: sometimes very superficial and not informative tutorials, many typos, playgrounds are too simple, quizzes are made like as just to be, mistakes in the given information.
From my perspective you can find much better and free of charge articles on the internet. So, it isn't a good value for money, considering that much money they're asking for.
Pros: easy to use, provides all relevant courses in one place, good coverage of topics.
High quality, lucid, and spot on courses for any software engineer preparing for interviews. Grokking the System Design Interview course is unanimously attested as the top course by almost anyone I have spoken to. I think the 'Grokking the Coding Interview: Patterns for Coding Questions' course is unique in its own way. You get to learn some common patterns that will help you in identifying the approach you need to take for any problem at hand. Overall, a great compendium of courses - just what the doctor ordered.
I feel that this site has very, very superficial tutorials. The guidance on how to build applications is very sketchy, and you end up wasting time online to find solutions because they do not provide enough information. If you need support, it is very difficult to obtain, you can 'ask a question', which opens up a forum. The tool they give you to ask a question is just atrocious, almost impossible to use.
I have definitely wasted my money.
Worst site. Waste of our precious time. Authors don't have respect for the time. They exactly do opposite of what they promise for selling the content. Extremely dissatisfied for the waste time, money.
Not worth the money. They say they can give you a personlized learning path but no the form keeps loading and then only a case study was provided in the path. They say they offer payment less cloud access when you buy their premium access but it shows no cloud labs available. Why would I get a premium access for this. Waste of time and money.
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.
