I’m interviewing at Coinbase. Is it safe to join Coinbase considering they’ve recently laid off? I understand there’s rarely any company which hasn’t laid off in 2022-2023, but how bad is it for Coinbase. (Position based out of India) #coinbase #interviewkickstart #layoffs
Stay away unless you want some illnesses related to stress.

It might have changed since the mass redundancies however last year it was hell. Obviously there is great talent at Meta, Google, AWS etc however CB seemed to successfully hire a lot of the ones who are terrible at their job, terrible at being good work colleagues but exceptional at playing politics and protecting themselves. There was multiple civil wars going on, you would have direct managers talking sh1t about their peers and who they were reporting to. The HR department was not aware of any of the problems and then would insert themselves in and cause havoc. There was of course some really nice, smart and friendly people there too but you have that in every decent company without all the drama. Also by the time I left even the nice people were fairly unhappy. You get promised a bunch of Pre-IPO/ Post IPO stock the stock price is down 80% since IPO date. They are now going to court to fight SEC which determined whether CB is in existence or not in 5 years. There might be a world where CB got humbled has cleared out all the bad actors, wins lawsuit with SEC / settles and becomes the iron clad place for cyrpto in western world and their price shoots as inflation settles. Would I risk a job in Google on the hope this happens? Probably not.
Not worth the risk. Coinbase has a lot of negative reviews in India. Use coinbase offer and shop somewhere else
that alone makes me want to join them
Does not look like cb would survive long...
