Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They show compassion and understanding but keep the business in focus.
Review from Engineering Dept
Communication, commitment to not just business success but doing the right thing, both internally and externally.
Review from Engineering Dept
True believers, founder led team
Review from Engineering Dept
No matter what level of leadership, everyone is extremely approachable. My manager really cares about me and my teammates as people, not just a team, and that sentiment continues upward from higher than just my manager as well.
Review from Engineering Dept
They have a strong conviction, ethics, act very human, achieve together and have a passion for innovation.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Set out a compelling vision and then stay on message for long periods of time. Not changing your mind every five seconds. Make better top level hires.
Review from Engineering Dept
Embracing the core business and what has made Strava successful, and playing to win with big bets in that area rather than chasing scattershot attempts at increasing total addressable market.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being on the same page with one another, having a goal(s) that makes sense for the business that will help profitability, being transparent, taking accountability for + learning from actions/mistakes, not blaming others, listening to + responding to feedback rather than explaining away situations.
Review from Engineering Dept
Communicating intentionally and in a timely minor
Review from Engineering Dept
get their shit together, communicate and act in uniso
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Fully paid health benefits with good insurance, particularly dental and vision.
Review from Engineering Dept
Having a strong base salary is very important. The gear and events stipend feels very generous, and there is no stigma around using your learning stipend (or any of the other ones). Using your benefits is encouraged. Also it is easy to use/ understand all the benefits
Review from Engineering Dept
Base compensation is, in my opinion, well considered. Stock grants are great, but I prefer the sure-ness of dollars over the risk of the stock of a private company
Review from Engineering Dept
The benefits that focus on health and wellbeing
Review from Engineering Dept
Fully covered insurance premiums are the best
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The salary is fair but the stock wont be liquid for a very long time, if ever, which makes total comp feel low compared to other companies.
Review from Engineering Dept
Raises that match or exceed inflation, salaries that match or exceed the competition.

Review from Engineering Dept
I think I was hired with the junior developer’s salary, but for a while now I’ve been working as a seni
Review from Engineering Dept
-Promos need to line up with peers. Seems like hard work isn't rewarded for the sake of equality which isn't very equitable in my opinion -% bumps are under industry standard. 3-8% rather than 10 - 20% -Getting raises in response to the work that I do unrelated to my peers would make me feel valued
Review from Engineering Dept

Open collaboration and cross functional investment and support,

Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Review from Engineering Dept

I love the the camaraderie aspect and how we all band together for WoWs. The energy around fitness is so fun!

Review from Engineering Dept
There is a good balance between work and recharging
Review from Engineering Dept
For me personally, it is the connections I make with people who I have worked with all over who are just great! Being able to feel comfortable talking to them any time and asking questions or congratulating them when I see their successes
Review from Engineering Dept
Continued positivity despite difficult business challenges
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Supporting employees to work on things that they're passionate about with more autonomy and risk-taking, and cutting away the red tape, bureaucracy, and extremely status-quo-reinforcing leadership culture that has led to Strava Speed.
Review from Engineering Dept
old culture is gone, company is trying to redefine what's "cool", but benefits and budgets are outdated
Review from Engineering Dept
Immediately stop letting marketing have any control over engineering. They are making absurd demands and causing major disruptions. Don't staff brand new teams with junior engineers to work on the most important feature releases. Own the fact that the reorg is basically indecipherable.
Review from Engineering Dept

What makes you most happy at work?
Feeling aligned with my team with a clear direction and understood execution plan
Review from Engineering Dept
Learning and growing in my field. My day-to-day work is very challenging and I am often out of my depth & experience. So when I get the hang of something and it clicks, it feels great!
Review from Engineering Dept
Shipping something impactful to the people of Strava.
Review from Engineering Dept
My co-workers create a great atmosphere and I feel supported
Review from Engineering Dept
Moving fast, building new experiences and products
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I don't feel engaged with my team and I feel like I'm not utilized in a way that makes sense given my interests *or* the company's business priorities.
Review from Engineering Dept
We've had poor engagement results + company performance for many months/years with constant messages from leadership that either nothing is wrong or it's ICs faults. This becomes demoralizing over time. I think accountability and better decision making from leadership is needed to improve things.
Review from Engineering Dept
Our leadership team seems to be in crisis mode right now.
Review from Engineering Dept
Burnout, lack of recognition, being underpaid. Fix those things, immediately or you will lose your most tenured and most valuable employees.
