Definitely not the case when you're an undergraduate trying to get your foot in the door with your first paper.
This is pretty ridiculous. I worked there and and there is much more going on internally than writing malware-like software. By the time I left they still had pretty decent engineers just trying to find a job in a better company, like me.
These sort of decisions don't come from Software Engineers and management there is known to be pretty shitty.
Also, it's not like they maliciously inserted this thing to mine crypto for Norton itself. Whatever your computer mines is yours (still a bad idea though IMO)
