Pros

You get to work from home and avoid the insincerity and duplicity of your cliquey coworkers.

Cons

Where to start? I'm simply writing this review to keep Stream honest. Too many short yet positive reviews popping up suspiciously after a negative (realistic and honest) review appears. Pay is atrocious. Good luck dealing with life's challenges when Stream won't even be competitive with their salaries. They treat it as the honor of working for such an "innovate" and "great" company makes up for 25-30% less pay than what you'd normally get at a less pompous organization. What's most sickening is the recent "restructuring," or as I've been referring to it, mass layoffs. So many people who built Stream to what it is today were just tossed like they were nothing. And for what? To literally waste time (finding replacements) and money (paying multiple salaries to cover for replacing a tenured employee). And a real ballsy move, getting your still-employed team members to post about hiring on LinkedIn. Wow, read the room, Stream. No one works here. They just take LinkedIn Learning courses because that's the only "growth" that they'll see. I'll keep an open mind, but right now, it feels like we're on a sinking ship.
