Pros: I can feel proud to work for Chime and the work we're doing. We are actually working towards the vision and mission, and I can see senior-most leadership caring deeply about our Members and our employees. I work with caring, empathetic, and brilliant people every day. Our benefits are great, and the culture is very good. If you are someone who wants to work in the office, we just opened a beautiful new space. I personally work remotely full-time and have been very pleased with that experience. We are also a FinTech company that appears to have no plans to dabble in crypto, which is a pro for me.

Cons: We grew very fast, and a lot of our processes are still catching up. There is active work being done to make sure employee experiences are consistent from team to team, but it's slow moving.

Pros: Still good people there, a positive outlook on the company, and nice new offices.

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

Pros: People here are nice to work with, and the company does care about the employees. We get an extra day off each month to relax and recharge because the company cares about our physical and mental health, especially during the pandemic. The company leadership team has a very clear goal and target for its business, and everything we do as an engineer is very goal/target driven. The company also hosts many events, both small groups and company level, to let us connect with each other. Everyone in the engineering org is also open to share ideas and help. Definitely a good place to work.

Cons: The company has 3 main offices: San Francisco, Chicago, and Vancouver. Some benefits are only available for US employees. (Overall, the benefit is still better than at other places I've worked.) Also, because the company is rapidly growing, there might be quite some re-orgs happening in the near future.
