Pros

Coinbase is a fast-paced environment with a healthy engineering culture that offers the opportunity to work on industry-leading products used by millions of customers. The company offers good benefits and has transitioned well to a remote-first culture during COVID. Despite leadership problems, the company is doing well due to it's strong market position.

Kontras

Coinbase suffers from a lack of competent leadership. The most notable example of this is Brian Armstrong's recent actions in response to an employee walkout because he refused to make a simple statement supporting black lives (like most other companies were doing at the time). Instead of learning from the situation and listening to employees, he publicly asked those who disagreed to leave and banned open discussion from the company slack and AMAs. This was an extreme and unnecessary step that caused high stress and conflict within the company in the midst of a pandemic. Worse, it alienated minority employees and actively undermined belonging and inclusion work being done. This was the largest unforced error by leadership, but not the first (see also the Chicago office and Neutrino acquisition). Coinbase also has an unhealthy self-described "intense" work culture. Work-life balance is poor and burnout is common. In my experience the people who are most successful and get promotions here are the people working long hours and weekends. If you want to have a manageable workload and a rich life outside of work this is not the right company for you.

At Coinbase, we believe that focusing on our mission is how we’ll make the biggest impact on the world. Brian Armstrong, our CEO and co-founder, explained this approach in detail in a blog post earlier this year. This is a conscious choice on our part and we know it sets us apart from some companies. That said, I want to be absolutely clear on these points: We are committed to maintaining an environment that is safe, supportive and welcoming to employees of all backgrounds. We do not accept intolerant behavior. And we are committed to our Belonging, Inclusion and Diversity strategy, which we recently revamped to ensure it continues to meet our needs now that we have more than 1,000 employees spread around the world. We’re a hypergrowth company, and this means we’re regularly pushed out of our comfort zones. We encourage employees to “sprint and recover” — to do great work quickly, but to also take the time they need to rest and recharge. To help make this possible, we offer flexible PTO and flexible work hours. As you mentioned, we shifted to remote-first earlier this year, and we also created several extra company-wide paid days off (“Recharge Days”) this year. We’re proud of the team we’ve assembled at Coinbase, and we’re confident that our focus on our mission will help us make an impact on the world. L.J. Brock, Chief People Officer

Pros

The people are amazing. Some of the smartest I've met and yet also the best to work with. I learned so much from working here.

Kontras

High intensity of work (but you also get good rest). Work hard, play hard. Upper management has been making worrying decisions with AI (eg all in with too little of a plan or oversight).

Pros

- Sehr interessante technische Herausforderungen - VIEL Autonomie (könnte ein Nachteil sein) - Erstaunliche Vergünstigungen (WFH-Stipendium, ständig zufällige Geschenke) - Sehr kluge Kollegen - Tolle Kommunikation im gesamten Unternehmen - Aufregend - Brillanter CEO und technische Führungskräfte - A viele nützliche Schulungen und Automatisierung in Bezug auf Prozesse

Kontras

- Es gibt viel Autonomie. Wenn Sie also die Art von Person sind, die die Arbeit braucht, müssen Sie sich anpassen - Da Krypto ein sehr schnelllebiges Feld ist, haben Sie oft mehrere Projekte auf dem gehen gleichzeitig, daher ist die Work-Life-Balance normalerweise relativ schlecht, obwohl das Unternehmen Aufladetage (und -wochen) anbietet, damit wir uns alle frei nehmen können. - Dies ist der größte Nachteil: Sie werden jedes Quartal bewertet, ob Sie "auf der Strecke" oder "außerhalb der Strecke" sind. Wenn Sie "außerhalb der Strecke" sind, haben Sie 60 Tage Zeit, um das Problem zu beheben. Eine ziemlich aggressive Haltung, ähnlich dem PIP-Programm von Amazon, das bekanntermaßen giftig ist.
