They tried to take money out of my card two years after I un subscribed. They have an office in Pakistan and they showcase as a US company. Luckily I had a low balance card. How sneaky

Never again ever
I was a customer for more than 2 years but the quality has gone all bad. I wanted to cancel my subscription but then charged me anyways. Would give 0 ratings. They used to respond to inquiries before but now they don't care. NEVER AGAIN!!

Not beginner friendly!
I jumped ship because it liked the interactive coding experience but quickly found out their material is terrible, horrible for beginners! Would not recommend this for beginners at all. Their course does not guide you nor does it explain why they coded in a certain way, it quickly jumps from basic to advanced, when I told them that their feedback was them telling me it’s good material for beginners and took non of the advice on board. Wish I never bought a years subscription. Regret it every day.

Beware of Scammy Renewal Tactics
Educative.io engages in shady business practices. They auto-renew your annual membership without sending any email reminders about the upcoming charge. Then, when you realise you've been charged, they refuse to issue a refund—even if you haven’t used the platform at all. This is a classic case of relying on people forgetting about their subscriptions to make money. Avoid them unless you want to be trapped in an unwanted renewal with no way out.

The grokking system design interview's…
The grokking system design interview's content still needs a lot of improvement. The content team are very helpfulthoughand have a direct way of asking questionsthat get answered withina short time. The building blocks parts are heavily based on the designing data intensive applications book, like almost idea for idea, though the rest of the content looks more original. That being said, charging 200$ for it is way too much I think. I'm disappointed that I paid for it but it gives a good coverage of many of the topics you would need, at least a lot of pointers and eye openers on topics.
