Good Company - Project Manager StratEx Employee Review

The company had great leadership

The company had a janky product

They do a great job of bringing in people that care about their work and are super smart. The issue is that they do not foster them into better employees. There is room to grow, but you have to do more than just work hard. I would recommend StratEx if you are new to the job market and want to pick up some really useful skills to take on to your next employer.

Communication at every level within this company is awful. Employees are strung along by their management, which is strung along by the c-suite. There is no clear vision in the long term and most of the decisions leadership makes are made out of down to the wire necessity versus foresight and planning. Blatant favoritism is shown to certain employees over others, and salary discrepancies are gossiped about which does nothing but breed resentment and contempt amongst employees. During the interview process everyone is super peppy about how much they love their job and the people they work with, however after a week or more on the job you will quickly hear that story change as colleagues will vocally complain about the workload, the drama, and the lack of support they feel throughout the office. While you do have the ability to talk directly to the CEO and other executives on a daily basis, your suggestions and critiques will not be taken to heart. A polite smile and nod will let you know you've been heard but not listened to.
