Strava Leadership Employee Reviews
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.

The leadership team is improving! The addition of Anita has been an incredible boost to effectiveness, morale, strategy and craft for the Design team. Generally, it seems like the leadership team is trying to increase alignment and clarity (even when it's clear that's challenging in this season).

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.

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.

Communicating intentionally and in a timely minor

get their shit together, communicate and act in uniso

Transparency, Competitive Strategy, Innovation, and attracting innovative talent
Review from Engineering Dept
Paying people based on their location and not based on their impact, tenure, or their work is morally bankrupt. I am making less than people who were hired later and have inarguably less impact. Leadership and HR have been stringing me along for years, getting my work at a huge discount.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being data informed in their decision making. The senior executives just do whatever their ego wants.
Review from Engineering Dept
Things seem chaotic after changes in the leadership team, changes to company structure, and shifting priorities. The leadership team needs to provide stability and push the company in the direction of sustainable growth.
