Chime culture?
How’s life over at chime? The latest valuation seems high - does that outlook of the company look that good? Also how’s the compensation at chime?
Pretty good work life balance and I love working with the people here. Outlook is definitely quite good - revenue growing like crazy YoY. Compensation similar to FAANG.
What everyone else said. Compensation is great (disclosure: I’m not Bay Area/Seattle, but based in another major US city). Morale is really good, so are perks. Coworkers are great, everyone is incredibly nice and genuine while also intelligent and competent. Hoping all of this scales as we grow.
Thanks! seems like a great place to work and I think the mission is really great. Applied a couple weeks ago, hopefully I get a callback soon!
Compensation is similar to FAANG (I’m in the Bay Area). I’ve worked with lots of really down-to-earth, humble people here and growth has been insane over the past year :)
It’s always exciting to see folks there enjoying working at the company/product. Could someone speak to the product culture there?
I'd say easily the most customer obsessed and data driven folks I've worked with. Everyone I've worked with is humble, honest culture about what we are doing well and what can be done better, awesome iterative development process and decision making power to everyone.
Honestly, I just joined Chime last month and I am shocked. It’s better than I thought. I thought the posts about the community was bullshit but it’s impressive the amount of effort they put into making people happy is amazing.
Can someone refer me for DS roles at Chime?
What’s the tech stack (backend) at Chime ?
Can someone at Chime DM me please?
Having interviewed there and because I know the space, they have the opportunity to significantly outgrow that valuation...and I think they will. That said, some of the folks I chatted with seemed pretty disinterested in the problems they were working on. Axios did an interesting write-up just today about chime's financials.
Ty. I actually saw some past threads on blind and many people said people there are super nice and passionate about their product?
I think that's by and large the case. My experience was probably more reflective of the old "a few bad apples" adage. What left a sour taste in my mouth was specifically the early startup employee snobbery that came across with some of the people I spoke to. Someone even said that as startups scale, the talent level naturally drops a bit (since there's not a bottomless pool of A+ people). I agree that this is the case but the way it was said made me feel like the interviewer (who had been at chime for a few years) was suggesting that they were greatly superior to me in talent and ability.
