Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Review from Finance Dept
Excited to be a part of the company excited to see changes that will make our company better.
Review from Finance Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The majority of the team are strong leaders with a clear vision for our future; but they're also real, empathic people which contributes to stronger leadership than intelligence and vision alone.
They care out the employees on a personal level
Review from Finance Dept
Transparency, friendliness, excitement, drive, approachability.
Review from Product Dept
This could be improved - but visiting teammates outside of the US to get feedback on how European team are feeling Being their true authentic selves Clarity on who is in the Leadership Team, M-Team, Compass Team - after all the changes would be helpful
Review from Marketing Dept
Accessibility for open communication with the them directly.
Review from Design 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
Clearer articulation of a product & business strategy Senior leaders pulling in different directions Large disconnect between what we publicly praise and what makes meaningful impact on the business and our athletes
Review from Finance Dept
Communicating intentionally and in a timely minor
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The opportunity for a bonus if we hit the plan of record; and RSUs. They both keep me very personally invested in our success.
The health insurance is great
Review from Finance Dept
I have a great salary and our health benefits covered the full cost of my first child.
Review from Product Dept
Fully paid healthcare coverage for my family.
Review from Legal Dept
Base salary feels pretty good
Review from HR 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
I believe benefits should be better and not center in one location. At the same we had some other benefits that were removed because a group of people did not know how to manage them or they took advance and now because of a group doing something wrong the whole company suffered.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Better pay transparency tied to titles/rolls across the company - would be awesome if Strava was leading transparency in this regard in a way not seen in the tech industry / employment world. More clarity around how compensation is leveled based on where you live and what office you report to.
Review from Product Dept
Raises that match or exceed inflation, salaries that match or exceed the competition.
Review from Engineering Dept
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
What are some of the best things about your team?
Hard-working, excellent at executing, passionate and FUN
Team is very collaborative and nice
Review from Finance Dept
Flexible, nimble, friendly, and open to new ideas.
Review from Product Dept
Smart, talented people Great energy Want to do a good work and keep innovating
Review from Marketing Dept
We are a diverse group.
Review from Legal Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
I feel increasingly disconnected from coworkers due to remote work and only interacting for specific meetings/purposes
Review from Finance Dept
We overindex on hiring athletes
Review from Engineering Dept
Everyone is too indivisualistic. People are very competitive.
Review from Engineering Dept
Giving and receiving kind feedback needs a ton of work. We have too much backchanneling and "niceness" where people don't voice what they think to the appropriate parties. Further, maturity in product decision making needs a ton of work and connecting to what's valueable for the athlete.
Review from Design Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The ERGs make everyone feel like they belong! And I love our ABCs.
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
Focus on personal and mental health
Review from Finance Dept
I love the focus on being active, people take work breaks for runs, swims, bike rides - there is nothing more healthy than that as far as culture goes!
Review from Product Dept
We strive to be a people first company and major emphasis is given to our health and wellness.
Review from Legal 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
More time for preparation, especially for international tasks.
Review from Marketing 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 did you like most about the interview process?
The opportunity to meet people from a wide variety of roles within the company
Review from Engineering Dept
The people I met made me more and more interested in the company and made me excited to potentially work with them as a peer.

What makes you most happy at work?
working with so many badass women
Collaborating with peers who are excited about the job
Review from Finance Dept
Knowing people are moving all around the world to earn their map on our app
Review from Product Dept
Getting involved in a project.
Review from Legal Dept
Ability to make an impact in peoples lives and livelihoods. Getting things done, being left alone to do my work and not being in a ton of meetings, when people want to work with me to help move things forward. My flexibility and autonomy.
Review from HR Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Recent events and the leadership style of recent hires (rule by fear) has prople focusing on jockeying for position/leadership approval instead of getting the work done and collaborating
Review from Marketing Dept
Some benefits were removed from us do to some small group not following the "rules" (example: light- Friday, work location) Why the whole company needed to be impacted if s small group was the issue? Should the company address the situation with them instead?
Review from Customer Support Dept
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
It's kind of chaotic, and priorities shift a lot. The design team is asked to do way too much at a given time and therefore we're always playing catchup or unable to focus on anything and give it the quality thought it deserves.
