I had a Coinbase technical screen conducted by Karat yesterday.
After a brief introduction, the interviewer asked some questions on scale, reliability and some system design questions for about 10-15 minutes.
Next we jumped on a coding interview, where I was given a LC hard problem. The interviewer clearly mentioned the #1 aspect he is looking for is the completeness of the solution that is executable and runs all the test cases well. I asked the interviewer if I can use my IDE (for immediate compilation issues or auto complete features) for some part of the code. He refused and mentioned I can only use their online codePad or any coding. If required I can look up at any docs.(Will not be helpful to reduce the time to code)
Finally I did take solid 5-8 minutes to fix the compilation errors at the end, and I missed a single update statement due to which my code did not work.
I could have easily debugged if I had 2-3 more minutes of time. Bad luck :( and disappointed.

If your solution was just 5 minutes away, you should be good!
So it could depend on the company they are hiring for as well.
