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.

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: Best experience ever, not lying.

Cons: None, it was actually really good.
