Software Engineer Interview Experience - California City, California
Process
The first round was a coding test held on the CodeSignal platform. It was not very easy, and I ended up solving 3 out of 4 questions. The first question was very basic, returning the largest element in an array. However, the second and third questions were very tricky and took most of my time.
After that, I received an interview call. The process was very smooth, and I solved all the questions that were asked, but I was still not selected.

Coinbase Work Experiences
- 3.0Decent Pay, Awful Work-lifeSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesSeptember 2, 2021Pros: Pay is decent. There are some nice people.Cons: Work-life balance is horrible (and is getting worse). Demanding executives. People are really combative working remotely.
- 5.0Smart People, Great ExperienceSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeDecember 17, 2022Pros: A solace full of smart people.Cons: None that I can think of.
- 4.0Very cool workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesAugust 6, 2021Pros: - Very interesting technical challenges - A lot of autonomy (could be a con) - Amazing perks (WFH stipend, random gifts all the time) - Very smart colleagues - Great communication all around the company - Exciting - Brilliant CEO and engineering execs - A lot of useful education and automation regarding processesCons: - There is a lot of autonomy, so if you're the kind of person who needs the work to be handed to you, you'll have to adjust. - Since crypto is a very fast-paced field, you will often have multiple projects on the go at the same time. Work-life balance is usually relatively bad, although the company does offer recharge days (and weeks) so that we can all take time off. - This is the biggest con: you get assessed if you're "on-track" or "off-track" every quarter. If you're "off-track", you have 60 days to fix it. It's quite an aggressive stance, similar to Amazon's PIP program, which is notoriously toxic.
