I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Coursera (London, England)
Interview
Very unorganised process and as nearly all my friends where approached by the company. They only want to screen the market because they don't understand the European market. They are talking about ambitious sales goals, but the funny thing is they don't have a product. Who needs Coursera if there is skillsoft, lynda, plurasight and co. Basically, they do not add any value. Don't waste your time with interview process. You would not sell much, because their business platform does not address any scalable business topics.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Coursera (London, England) in Jun 2021
Interview
- 1 recruiter screening call to discuss your background, skills and overall fit for the role
- 1 hiring manager call to align on salary and HR details, cultural differences and conflict management
- 1-panel interview to pitch the product in front of 3 or 4 people from the sales team, customer success and SDR division

Question 1
The questions themselves were the usual questions an employer would ask in an interview.
The difficult part was the role play exercise.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Coursera (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Referred into the company by a current employee. There was seamless communication throughout the hiring managers and recruiting team throughout the process. There was a high level of transparency and I always knew next steps. They were very patient and moved at my pace, not theirs, which I appreciated.

Question 1
What values are most important to you in a new company? Why do you want to join Coursera?
