Happiness dependent on your manager
Software Engineer • Current Employee
April 1, 2023
Pros: Due to layoffs, it's been more sour at Chime than usual. My team has been protected by our thoughtful (equally hardworking) manager, and I appreciate her tremendously for her leadership.
If you're going to join Chime, I suggest interviewing the manager to see if it'll be a good fit for you.
For the most part, my peers are happy here. We do have some groups overworked, and I would blame that on management.
Cons: Poor management.
Find the bad managers and replace them.
