Pros

-The values are not something just talked about in orientation. They are lived in the actions of how we treat each other and our artists -You have a ton of opportunities to do more than just your job if you are curious and self motivated -Everyone is equally motivated and has the same goals -Leadership is clear with their alignment and where we are going -Having work in other music industry companies, Stem is the exception. Everyone is spoken to with respect and is their opinions matter

Cons

-Hard to say this is a con but with the teams still growing, if you are looking for a traditional career path, this is not the place for black and white growth. You still have plenty of places to grow and learn, Its just not tradition if that is what you are looking for

Pros

For a fully remote company with employees all over the world, Stem strives to be a warm and welcoming place for everyone. We've experienced a lot of growth in 2022 and though change inevitably comes with growing pains, I feel that everyone I work with has the best intentions and we have a culture that values a learning mindset. Regular retros, all-hands, 1:1s, design reviews, quarterly goal setting, etc. help drive team alignment and I think that's key for any company, but especially a startup of Stem's size. The leadership at Stem is transparent about our mission and priorities, and I have a clear idea of how I directly impact our path to success. I've had the opportunity to design a ton of new features and 2 brand new products from scratch -- I don't take that learning opportunity for granted. I've always felt like I have the autonomy and trust to do what's right for myself and my team, and I feel supported along the way. Questions are always encouraged. Most importantly, Stem is striving to solve an undeniable problem in the music industry and everyone at Stem cares -- that's evident in the work ethic and grit that I see from my peers day by day. You can't beat working in music. Our users are amazing, the complexities are fascinating, and you are never bored. It's a fun place to roll up your sleeves, get exposed to all areas of the business, experiment and learn quick.

Cons

This is not a workplace where you can put on your blinders and just do what you're told. You have to pay attention, stay engaged, and think critically because it's a fast-paced environment and it could be easy to feel out of the loop. There's a lot of work to do, so you have to be comfortable upholding life/work balance. The folks at Stem respect boundaries, but it's a slippery slope if you aren't used to maintaining that for yourself. There isn't a dedicated design team (yet), so I've had to look outside of Stem for mentorship and learning within my craft and discipline. Not necessarily a "con", but just something to consider.

Pros

Stem is a blend of music industry experts and techies alike. Despite our wide array of backgrounds, there is an inclusive culture where all thoughts are respected. On a daily basis you can feel that everyone is bringing their full heart to supporting our mission of bringing clarity to the music industry and thinking of the customer's challenges first. We all feel and know that our individual work is incredibly meaningful and contributing to something greater than ourselves. Along with this, I sincerely can say I enjoy coming to work Monday through Friday because it's such an upbeat culture (who doesn't love working with positive coworkers?) I'm excited to see what the impact Stem will continue to have on the music industry in the coming years and what we're going to achieve together.

Cons

None. It's a healthy culture. The people ops team ensures everyone is heard and supported so we can put in our best work daily. They are world class and truly the backbone of driving such an inclusive culture.
