Process
I applied online, and the process took one week.
The first round was an online assessment where you could choose a role that would be the best fit for you. I chose backend. Although I was able to finish the quiz, I received a rejection email after one week.

MANY FAKE REVIEWS | DO NOT WORK HERE UNLESS ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS MONEY
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
August 25, 2020
Pros: Smart and ambitious coworkers
Always raising the bar
A good amount of young people
Fun place to work, great perks!
Cons: Bro culture is very strong. They try to disguise it, but when you are a minority and a person of color, it's very clear.
Generally self-centered people who want success for themselves. They only care about you if you are raising the bar for the company.
Bad leadership decisions are questionable.
Advice to anyone considering Coinbase: Save yourself the trouble and don't.
Just be cautious; sometimes money is not everything. A bad company culture with diversity issues and a lack of leadership will reveal itself soon enough. I liked Coinbase as a company before I joined.
