WARNING: Codecademy is a dark-pattern subscription company

A dark-pattern subscription companyThis means that they WILL bill your card (that they keep onfile without your consent) WITHOUT any type of prior notification. They WILL NOT refund this charge even if you catch it the same day. This behavior is dark pattern. Refuse the charge with your financial institution and file a complaint. Edit to respond to their PR attempt: A customer service ticket WAS filed with them back in November. There was no answer, as is typical in dark pattern subscription 'providers'.

Codecademy has given me a really good…

Codecademy has given me a really good base for coding. I did the free courses and then had pro for a few years. I like the way it goes through exercises and tests you.Also the customer service was excellent and was actual people (unless they have very convincing bots!). I do think they are a very ethical and helpful company that has a good mission Thank you Amecka for your help when I had an issue. I had really good customer services when a lot of other places send you round in circles. 5 stars from me ☺️

False Advertisement

I would say it's a scam, because of false advertisement. It says "Learn to code for free" but it's not really free. You pretty much have to pay.

Watch out for their auto renewals and promo emails that flag their reminders to go into spam.

Started doing a course. Unfortunately, I had to put it aside due to health reason and was not able to pick it back up just yet. Little did I know you can't turn off auto renew for their services. You can either let them charge what they want every billing cycle (they doubled my price to $400 2 weeks before Christmas) or you can cancel their services. So you don't have the option to use their site, when your membership ends, wait until you can afford to use their service again. The option is either let them take what they want or cancel your program. If you are going to use their service make absolutely sure they're emails aren't going to your junk mail and deleted. That's what happened to me. They sent FIFTY promo emails since I signed up so naturally their billing reminders are long since flagged as spam my email servers before you ever get to see them.

buggy but ok

has a good amount of courses, for what you pay for, how ever the website may be buggy at times and have had to contact support when the system bugged out mid course or failed to generate the certificate.some well known courses are included but not the exam, they will advise you to go do the exam with Microsoft, google, amazon, ISC2support team have been fast and helpful, courses are easy to understand and follow, ai tool helps when it dosen't bug out and i am stuck in my course to break down where i went wrong.

When your code doesn't work the AI tool does not offer working solutions.

Codecademy is fine for the free courses. However if it's not possible to complete the paid ones, you may have wasted your money as the debugging methods don't work. The 'AI' tool is superficial and doesn't resolve problems. It isn't present for some of the lessons anyway. You are directed to community support and, in my experience so far, the community doesn't support. So I've wasted hours and my sub.

I bought a subscription about a year…

I bought a subscription about a year ago. When I bought it, they didn't inform me that it would be automatically charged. They didn't even remind me about it afterwards, and today my subscription automatically renewed. No refund. Thanks Codecademy! Never again!
