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
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 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 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.

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.
