Coinbase Response
5yThank 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.
Yes, the sprints are very demanding; however, we are working on sustainability by increasing the frequency of our formal recharge periods. We recently implemented two recharge (company shutdown) weeks for 2021 (one week in July, and one week in December), as well as a handful of recharge days to ensure that no one goes more than ~6 weeks without a recharge break.
We appreciate you taking the time to share feedback with us!
L.J. Brock, Chief People Officer
