Front End Developer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
I was given a coding challenge on HackerRank, and after passing it, I was invited to a technical interview with one interviewer.
It lasted an hour, but the interviewer spent a significant portion of the time discussing their location. This made me feel rushed while trying to solve the exercise they provided.
The interview was conducted in React.
In the end, I thought I had performed adequately, but I was surprised when I received a rejection. I suspect that my pace in solving the question was the reason for my rejection.

Coinbase Work Experiences
- 3.0My team was nice, but the company is not organizedSenior Software Engineer (IC4) • Former EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaFebruary 13, 2023Pros: The total package was good. The project impact is huge.Cons: The company management people are not experienced.
- 5.0Great Wlb, Modern StackSoftware Engineer Intern • Current EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaDecember 10, 2021Pros: As an intern, you get great WLB, working with a modern tech stack, and communication with other experienced engineers to learn from.Cons: I've heard they lowered salaries for this year's interns in Canada.
- 2.0Increasingly not worth it for Canadian employeesSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaApril 11, 2024Pros: Interesting problems and fast-paced work that gives you a lot of autonomy. In absolute terms, compensation is pretty good.Cons: - Thoughtless reorgs cause thrash. - Work-life balance is awful. - Quote from the COO: "We know a lot of you are sprinting; that's life at Coinbase." - Continually talking about operational issues, but unwilling to pay for people to handle them. - Exec team seems very out of touch. Specifically for Canadian employees: * Benefits have been reduced over the past 2 years. * No raises have been given. * Pay is significantly less than US peers. * My feeling is that the company is trying to suss out just how much they can short-change Canadians. If you're considering joining from Canada, keep in mind that Coinbase is actively reducing our comp package over time. Would not recommend for anyone. But if you're Canadian, wouldn't even consider joining right now.
