Had a similar experience to `maxyazhbin`.
I got very positive feedback about all of triplebyte, phone interview (2 engineers), and engineering manager chat. I really enjoyed the people and was super excited about the consumer product (first yellow flag was that after each part it took 7-14days for recruiter to get back to me)
Then I had a very odd call with the recruiter (doing his dishes) trying to make me aggressively reveal what other companies I talk to and agree on a non-negotiable TC. When I didn't express instant excitement and asked clarifying questions (no signing or relocation bonus) I was told there are frankly other candidates that are happy with the TC and there is only one role to fill.
Between the lines I could hear that they wanted to minimize the number of onsites and reduce the chance that you take a better offer at another company.
Makes me think there might be a culture at Coinbase where people are drilled not to ask questions in fear of repercussions.
Weirdest interviewing experience ever with a less than optimal communication from the recruiter.
