Process
First round HackerRank, Skype screening afterwards. I applied online, and it was a very straightforward process. They responded very quickly. All languages were available, and the HackerRank challenge was not limited. I did not advance, but the interview process was more than fair in terms of difficulty and expectations.

Coursera Work Experiences

Working remote as a Canadian
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
February 12, 2021
Pros: It was a fun challenge with high-impact projects. The support system is good, and people are very willing to help (at least my team was). Everyone is generally very friendly and open to conversation.
Cons: I was working for the U.S. office, and I was a little upset at the fact that although I was doing the same work, they decided to pay me less, even with the already lessened experience.
The common argument is that the company is going through struggles, so cutting costs was inevitable. However, Coursera had been doing particularly well through the pandemic (for obvious reasons).

Pros: Abundance of challenging, high-impact work. Some growing pains both culturally and in the tech stack, but there are a lot of positive signs that we've moved past the main issues and are still dedicated to improve further.
Cons: Partners' influence on the product and engineering roadmap feels a bit much.
