Pros

Decent compensation and perks, esp. equity (if you stick around, and if it ever does go public as promised)

Cons

Just as much a burnout factory as Facebook or Google or Amazon or Apple, but cloaked in saying all the right things, and getting the kind of press that Facebook did before the 2016 election.

I am so sorry to hear this has been your experience at Chime. This does not align with our values or leadership behaviors. I encourage you to reach out to me or your People Partner to talk about how we can support you. -Beth Steinberg

Pros

Still good people there, positive outlook on the company, nice new offices.

Cons

Work / life balancing is being eroded. Too much chatter on "going fast" vs. using a methodical approach to delivering new user experiences that are well thought out and clearly defined, and are of high value and quality. This is not always the case. Communication between teams is near non existent. The "left hand" does not know what the "right hand" is doing.

Pros

Tons of extra days off, you learn many things quickly, Chime looks good on your resume, cool product, some interesting problems to solve.

Cons

When I say you'll learn a lot, I mean you'll see examples of what not to do. Whomever comes up with strategy can't make up their minds on what to do and where to go with the product. Your job will always feel threatened. Don't be fooled by the cool photos and cheerleading on LinkedIn or anywhere for that matter. That's all for show. This place is dreadful. Literally the worst place I've ever worked. Many here will make you pull your hair out by their ineptitude and acting like they care about anything other than going public. Culture is dead. Leadership here is the absolute worst I've ever experienced. Can't figure out how to run day to day operations because everything is a fire drill. Nothing is proactive. Everything is reactive. Everything is end of day critical. Pettiness runs high here.
