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.

  • Diversity hire
Advice to Management

Please get some manager and senior management training for all teams. They are fostering a terrible culture and are not prepared for their roles.

Diversity is not just hiring diverse candidates; it is also about inclusion, hence DEI efforts.

I would not recommend this company to any of my friends unless all they care about is making money. Money can buy you great talent, but it will not help you keep talent.

Good luck!
