Review on Glassdoor: "- the exec team is very disconnected : the latest example is the CPO trying the employees that 40 h per week is not enough, when most of the comment is working 55+ hours"
This is their response:
"Chief People Officer
Thank you for your feedback. We want to ensure the promise of working at Coinbase matches the experience of being here. In the last 3 months, we’ve hired ~600 people. It is important we reiterate how we are thinking about building our company and culture at this rate of growth. We want to be transparent that there is no initiative in place to specifically reduce the intensity of the hours our jobs demand, and that we don’t intend to limit our ambitions by a traditional 40 hour work week, and come together to continue to build Coinbase."
I wouldn't be too impressed if I interviewed someone who said they routinely worked 50+ hrs/week at their last job. That indicates either a dysfunctional workplace or an employee who can't get things done on time. It might indicate an exceptional dedication to work, but then I would wonder how often the candidate burns out.
I would like to see candidates who have a record of getting things done, going the extra mile when necessary, but that isn't necessarily measured by number of hours worked in a week.
