Coursera Work Experiences
- 5.0Fun company to work atSoftware Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaFebruary 1, 2024Pros: My team culture was great.Cons: The company was heavily focused on generative AI and put everything else on hold.
- 3.0Exposure to Tech Stack, Mishandled TeamSoftware Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeOctober 4, 2022Pros: - exposure to new technologies - really growing as a software engineer if given the opportunity to take ownership - access to varied architecture, infrastructure, and development teams that are closely tied to each other - fast paced - good team bonding experience - pay is comparable to FAANGCons: Didn't value me much as an intern. Developed test cases for the majority of the internship. Had a switch in management during the internship; the team was too large and chaotic in the midst of the team splitting. Regular 1-1s were cut to 15 minutes, which felt very to the point and not enough time to build a relationship, even virtually.
