ME Michael E. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/25/2023 "Thieves" 0/5 What do you like best about Codecademy? Codecademy; they renewed my subscription without my permission and without sending out a subscription renewal reminder like reputatsble companies do prior to billing you. When they were contacted via the email address listed on thier site; they took the unprofessional approach of not responding to my billing inquiry in essence stealing almost 270.00 from my account. A company is only as good as thier customer service and in the case of Codecademy; thier customer service is trash despite the product being nothing more than a consolidated compilation of what one can find online by using free services. Codecademy is nothing more than a fancy UI compiling data that you can find for free....on platforms such as freecodecamp.org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Codecademy? Theft of my funds. Trash and unresponsive customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Codecademy solving and how is that benefiting you? Nothing at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Sales Consultant Computer Networking Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/24/2019 "Need pest control with all the bugs" 0/5 What do you like best about Codecademy? The concept. That is the only thing that I like about the website. The idea is great. The implementation is horrible and frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Codecademy? My letter to codecademy reflecting my views on their service. First having people actually read your question second people that can actually help.instead of generically pointing you to a forum where other users can do the job of your customer service rep. I have sense stopped using your service and moved to a better site to learn coding in python. Your platform is buggy the lessons are worded horribly and customer service is virtually no existent to issues. Also the moderators in the forums have been snippy at times. I will be going across the web and leaving reviews wherever I can to show my disappointment with your service. People do not need to spend money on something that is broken. I cannot stand it. Do the devs over there even thing about the consequences of what you are doing? Imagine 100 people come to learn how to code. Out of that hundred 30 of them experience bugs in your website and think "coding is way to freaking hard for me" they quit and leave coding behind. Those 30 people could have gone on to do great things while you virtually stopped them in their tracks. They may not even know that it wasn't even them in the first place. I'm willing to bet that at least one of you in your office has had parents that you could never do anything right for. Well you guys are those parents. You leave people feeling inadequate and stupid. Why? Because your code is rushed and incorrect and causes extreme amounts of frustration. It really is ironic that you are teaching code when your code is trash. Is it suppose to be one of those do as your told not as I do kinds of things? Their website is buggy(at least for the python 3 paid course) so if you take it with the trial know that if an error comes back especially with indentation it may not be you at all. There have been times when I wrote code and it came back as wrong so I copied my code, asked for solution, pasted my code underneath and compared to find that nothing was different. Buyer beware. Now I did learn a good amount of fresh material but I have had some experience in python so I knew I was not wrong on certain things. If I had been newblet I would have just quit after the first couple bugs thinking it was me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
