Process
The technical interview itself was a positive experience, given the questions asked. However, I wanted to point out a few issues with the recruiter's professionalism:
- Typos in their email
- Late responses
- Forgetting to generate the online coding link for my scheduled phone interview.
Ultimately, I did not move to the next round due to hesitations shown for some of the follow-up questions. I received a generic rejection letter with no specific feedback and, again, typos in the names.

Former Engineering Intern's review
Software Engineer(Internship) • Current Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
October 30, 2018
Pros: Great place for growth. The company isn't disrupting things like crazy right now, but its business is growing steadily. With degrees coming in, the company seems to be doing better business-wise.
People are fun, brilliant, and driven. Lunch and dinner are catered every day, and it's not bad.
Ping pong and pool are lots of fun!
Cons: The company seems to be scouring for talent right now. This can be a good thing and a bad thing.
As the company grows, it may be hard to preserve the culture that Coursera is known for.

OK
Software Development Engineer II • Former Employee
Toronto, ON
May 29, 2026
Pros: It is a decent place to work if you're lucky enough to be on any of the nicer teams.
Cons: - A couple of ex-Amazonians want to act like this is Amazon.
- But remember, a goose is male, and a gander is female.
- Figure out why the statement "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" isn't necessarily always true.
- There are reorgs too often with quiet, covert layoffs.
- People who blow their horns tend to get further than most who don't care much about stuff like that.
