About the company
Stream, formerly Wagestream, builds a workplace finance platform used by frontline workers through their employers. The Stream app covers earned wage access alongside budgeting, savings, rewards, and credit products, positioned around “power over pay”. Stream also markets a social charter and B Corp status as part of how the company builds and launches products. Recent reporting says Stream raised $90m in January 2026 to support US expansion and new product lines.
Locations and presence
Stream lists teams across London, Madrid, New York, and Arlington. Stream hires with a mix of hybrid roles (office time required) and some fully on-site roles for operations.

Stream is one of the clearer scaleups for pay transparency, with multiple roles showing salary ranges and specific benefits, which helps early-career candidates make informed calls. Stream’s early-career access is present but concentrated in a small set of functions, so graduates outside sales and operations will see fewer true 0–3 year options at any one time.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.5
/ 20
  • The company currently offers an Office Assistant role where “experience… is beneficial but not essential,” which is a genuine entry point for someone early in their career.
  • Stream’s Sales Development Representative role accepts a wide band of experience (1–5 years) and reads like a common first or second job in B2B sales rather than a senior hire.
  • The company’s visible openings skew mid-level in many areas (for example Growth Marketing Associate at 2–4 years, and specialist roles like Credit Risk Analyst), which limits the number of first-job seats.
Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes salary ranges directly inside several job ads (for example Office Assistant and Credit Risk Analyst), which reduces the usual pay ambiguity at application stage.
  • Stream’s job descriptions include specific working policies (like “3 days per week” hybrid requirements or fully on-site hours), which helps candidates self-select early and avoid surprises late in process.
  • The company has mixed candidate-experience signals in public interview feedback, with both fast, well-organised processes and reports of weaker closure, which pulls the score below “consistently respectful”.
Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

15.2
/ 20
  • The company spells out coaching in the Sales Development Representative role, including 1:1 mentorship and coaching, “regular training,” and shadowing sales leaders as a planned development route.
  • Stream includes time-bound ramp expectations in the Sales Development Representative role (“within 1 month”, “within 3 months”, “within 6 months”), which is practical structure for an early-career hire.
  • The company also bakes support into certain specialist roles via explicit mentoring language (for example the Growth Marketing Associate role states close work with senior leaders and being mentored by a top performer), though this is not described across every function.
Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

17.0
/ 20
  • The company shows strong pay transparency across multiple roles, including £25k–£35k for Office Assistant, £40k–£60k plus stock for Credit Risk Analyst, and a stated base-plus-commission structure for Sales Development Representative in New York.
  • Stream ties compensation to stability signals such as equity in several roles and a consistent benefits stack that includes private healthcare, pension or 401(k) (by market), and paid parental leave terms.
  • The company still leaves some uncertainty for candidates comparing roles across locations and departments because not every opening is equally detailed on variable pay mechanics (for example commission structure beyond headline OTE).
Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

12.3
/ 20
  • The company’s employee review snapshot is middling, with an overall 3.5/5 rating and 59% recommending Stream as a workplace, which suggests a mixed experience rather than strong early-career outcomes.
  • Stream acknowledges “over 200” employees and continues to hire across multiple hubs, which supports repeat hiring capacity but does not confirm early-career progression timelines.
  • The company’s LinkedIn jobs footprint shows ongoing hiring across London and US locations, but Stream does not publish early-career outcome data such as promotion rates, internal mobility stories by level, or 12–24 month retention figures.
