Pros: Remote working. Goals to improve education. Great communications about company goals. Free access to online courses.

Cons: An ambitious but inexperienced workforce makes every project cheerful, enormous, clumsy, and poorly executed. Attempts to make real improvements are met with resistance from senior employees that have scant experience outside of Coursera.

Pros: Best experience ever, not lying.

Cons: None, it was actually really good.

Pros: I've been working at Coursera for 6 months now. Coursera is devoted to its mission of bringing the world's best learning experience to its learners. The weight and power of this mission resonates through the motivation that I see in my teammates and the leadership team. The product has targeted an international audience since the beginning, and this is what makes Coursera unique. It is exhilarating to be working directly on a product that will impact millions of users outside of US borders. Coursera gives a lot of autonomy to its staff, both with the product and for extra-curricular activities. Employees can: * host meetups at the office * work from home * take unlimited vacation (within reason) * run sports games * organize team outings.

Cons: Start-ups don't have everything figured out yet. The work pace might be a bit fast for a new employee.
