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: - Great original mission. - Close to the Castro district in Mountain View.

Cons: The current engineering leadership is poor. I would say it is one of the worst in the valley. The best engineers are leaving in droves to companies like Uber, Khan Academy, Airbnb, Quip, LinkedIn, and other smaller startups. There is no understanding of how to manage an individual engineer's career. They will promise you a lot when you join, but it will turn out to be a career graveyard.

Pros: - Reasonable work-life balance compared to the rest of the Bay Area. - Friendly coworkers. - Generally good managers and skip-level managers.

Cons: - Growth opportunities for senior folks can be difficult, depending on the team you are on. - Company culture is declining overall, with less motivation and passion. - Headcount for some teams feels mismatched in terms of business impact. You may end up either not having much to do or too much. Do your research. - Compensation is not as competitive due to declining stock; ed tech is a difficult industry in this economy. - Do not have very high confidence in the vision for the company/product. There is some hope, but the company is still figuring things out, and it can be very draining and chaotic for employees.
