Pluspunten

Free classes, stock allocation for some

Minpunten

In the past month, I’ve seen 6 coworkers break down in tears due to overwork and physical fatigue. That’s right. Grown men and women. Crying. At work. For an education company. Coursera is a company in growth mode; hard work and stress should be expected. Where it gets weird is how employees are pressured to exude high levels of positivity, “wokeness”and inspiration while working long hours into the night, fighting for more help, and having their work criticized in public under the toxic mantra of “learn, change, grow”. If you were to sit down and talk with any employee in private they would admit that they flat out hate their job and are actively looking for a new one. So why aren’t there more bad Glassdoor reviews you ask? It’s because most employees have stock allocations and don’t want to post anything negative publicly that affect the perception/value of Coursera.

Pluspunten

The people were pretty nice and there was a work-life balance.

Minpunten

Although this company sits at the forefront of edtech, behind the scenes they are unorganized. Lack of tools to extract data, to make work impactful and putting bandaids over challenges, rather than having the difficult conversations.
