Early careers at Chime
Our early talent philosophy.
Chime® was created because we believe everyone can unlock financial progress™, and we want to develop the solutions and services to empower them to succeed. In a commitment to align our mission with our Early Talent program, we work hard to ensure our internship and new grad opportunities unlock career progress and empower our Early Talent Chimers to succeed—in more ways than one.
Starting your career with Chime is an opportunity to make an impact from day one, jump-start your career, and be a part of changing how everyday people achieve their financial goals. Not only will you begin your professional journey with supportive benefits and a welcoming work environment, but you’ll also have an opportunity to learn and make a meaningful impact.
Early on, we learned that innovation and new perspectives are pivotal to our growth—and the critical role early talent plays in bringing creativity and fresh ideas to Chime. We’re proud to partner with interns and new grads to help us unlock progress for our teams and members alike.
What to expect as an early talent hire
Our core values go beyond a list painted on the walls of our office—they imbue the interactions we have, the decisions we make, the products we launch, and the impact we have on our members and communities. As an early talent hire, we expect nothing less from you than to embody our values on the daily.
Be bold
At Chime, we dream big and our interns and new grads are no exception to this rule. As an intern or new grad hire, you’ll work on critical projects that impact our company and members. You’ll be challenged to think outside of the box and do more than the status quo. You’ll be encouraged to Chime InTM with your questions, ideas, and feedback. As an intern, you’ll present all the great work and learnings to your leadership team at the end of your internship.
Team up.
At Chime, we value collaboration and teamness. We know that our best work gets done when we work together, and that’s why every intern and new grad not only gets coaching from their manager, but is also assigned a dedicated mentor on their team to support them along the way. All team members are invested and play a key role in every early talent hire’s success, but our dedicated mentorship program allows for an additional layer of assistance, friendship, and growth.
Be human.
At Chime, we build trust and connection with our members by delivering great products, delighting them when we can, and empowering them to achieve their goals. We want the same kind of trust and connection for our interns and new grads—that’s why we’ll encourage you to connect with fellow Chimers at engaging professional and social events like lunch and learns, training sessions, panel discussions, paint nights, and cultural heritage celebrations.
