Strava Reviews

* New leadership at Strava has completely transformed the values and culture, in a negative way * Strava has a grind culture very similar to Amazon and other workplaces known for having an out-of-whack work-life balance. This is new, and has been directly instilled from the top down by the new CEO. * Under new leadership, Strava has gone back on values that were core to its founding and its DNA. This has been heartbreaking to see. * Strava is now the most toxic place I have ever worked, and I've worked in some toxic environments. If you're considering working at Strava, I urge you to reconsider- the positive things you've read about working there from employees are likely from before the new leadership started.

- Very inexperienced senior leadership team. There are multiple people who haven't really worked anywhere else or in any other successful company. But they are in the top person's inner circle (demographic-wise and just tenure) so they keep getting promoted. One leader made multiple bad hires (there were measurable public failures and very clear sentiment) and they still let multiple people quit because of the bad hire, even though eventually they had to let go of the bad hire anyways. Despite such shoddy decisions they are still tasked with running the show. Their is no accountability. - The senior leadership culture is very defensive. They push a culture where nobody can express a critique about anything. The smallest negative opinion or feedback is punished, and the all hands is used to publically shame the entire company to ensure even anonymously nobody says anything negative about leadership. The anonymous forum is a joke - all the responses are platitudes and gas-lighting of employees, with the aim to ensure nobody submits any further feedback. They keep saying come have a live conversation but when people go have a live conversation they punish them and take away their good projects. - The leadership team has their head in the sand about the business. They only listen to someone with no experience, who is pushing his personal agenda but knows how to butter up the senior leaders. - The company made a huge deal about being anti-racist. By all reports, the people of color are unhappy and leaving in bulk.
