San Francisco, CAPosted Dec 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My Coinbase interviews felt difficult because the tests were heavily timed and the coding environment was awkward.

Phone screen — an initial discussion followed by testing.
Logic test — an assessment before the coding round.
Timed coding quiz (proctored online editor) — I had about 1.5 hours in an online, proctored coding editor; it felt semi-difficult, and the tooling/debug flow was unnecessarily complicated.
Outcome: No offer—complex proctoring and friction in the editor made the technical challenge harder to demonstrate.
