Make-a-thon We host Make-a-thon events twice a year to promote community and innovation. During Make-a-thon, you’ll dedicate time to attend workshops, work on passion projects, and pursue ideas outside of your day-to-day work. Time away Take paid time off when you need it. We have time off policies that promote flexibility so you can tailor your work schedule when life calls.

Remote work Our flexibility extends to where you work. You can choose to work from home, work from one of our offices, or try a combination of the two. Equity Employees earn company stock, so you can own what we build together and share in our success. Coursera is a remote-first company and we believe in a vision where employees choose where they do their best work. We believe location shouldn’t limit access to world-class learning, and we’re bringing this mindset to the way we evolve our workplace.
