Honestly haven't experienced the negative review callouts, best place I've worked
Pros
I remember interviewing for Stem and reading and wondering about some of these older reviews - It's been a year now and frankly I haven't seen any evidence of the callouts. I don't normally write reviews, but thought I'd give a more fresh and current employee perspective for whoever is reading everything. - The culture is the best I've experienced from any job position. -Our CEO is intentional, accessible and inspiring in how she seeks members of the team to know her and to know each other -Our tech and our service is gaining momentum in disrupting market standards in an industry craving this, which has been exciting and motivational to witness and participate in this past year -Collaboration, innovation, and good work is well celebrated and naturally encouraged -company culture and bonding feels natural and is prioritized even in our remote setting (sometimes we'll gather together throughout the year too) -There aren't departmental silos- I felt comfortable, even within a short time reaching out to others for project insight and just honest curiosity - HR is super attentive and in tune to the needs of employees and is intent on making our experiences with our culture fun, meaningful, and conducive to an environment where we can feel comfortable expressing our personalities, feel known in the organization, and are in the headspace to work at our best.. - I don't feel alienated because of my race or age or because I'm not in one of major hub cities my coworkers are in
Cons
Not trying to be cheesy here, but I honestly don't have any. I've worked at 3 or 4 startups of various sizes and this one gets a lot of things right. Honestly genuinely happy here. I think the reason I don't have any cons to air is because the leadership team often jumps at every opportunity to improve culture, team dynamics, and company vision/trajectory, and as employees we're encouraged to drive those conversations, more so than I've seen elsewhere. I think the usual trap growing startups fall into is expanding rapidly in numbers and breadth of focus and losing the desire or energy to maintaining quality employee experience - this hasn't happened this last year at Stem...
