It was straight forward and simple interview process. First round HR - screening round, next round coding and system design. The coding round dealing with leet code programs mostly simple. One round with the manager which is very deep into technical scenarios.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Chime (San Francisco, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Smooth and nice interviewers. Coding and behavioral rounds are ok.
System design round was kinda odd that the interviewer did seem to have trouble on understanding and expressing.
I felt kinda weird that the round with the hiring manager went well but he gave me pretty negative feedback.

I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Chime (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Very good, straightforward, and fair interview process. Just a little lengthy because company had paused hiring to reallocate headcount in the middle of my process, leading to longer than average wait. Very nice recruiter, friendly interviewers, and fair questions. First round recruiter intro call. Next, technical coding screen with engineer. Finally, 4-round onsite day consisting of coding interview, system design, product xfn interview (behavioral), engineering manager resume/experience deep dive (behavioral).
