Pros
Cons
There are no cons to display at this time.
Pros & Cons are excerpts from user reviews. They are not authored by Glassdoor.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Non-hierarchal organization where all levels have input into almost all aspects of the company (e.g. Everyone is asked for feedback to talent review process) - People first mentality where the well-being and personal life of each employee is more important than work (e.g. Leadership emphasizing taking day or just mornings off if you're feeling stressed or anxious from election/pandemic etc) - Leadership actually makes difficult values based decisions (e.g. Rejecting clients that are not values aligned)
Cons
- The non-hierarchal structure can sometimes lead to slower or less clear decision making because leadership desires feedback and input from all employees
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
- Some of Stride’s clients have good brand recognition.
Cons
- The more I heard leadership’s updates, the less inspired I felt. When I was new, I bought into the company’s narratives, but over time, I was repeatedly disappointed and unimpressed by the back office. The longer I was at the company, the more I found the words and actions of the back office incongruent. - I found the way the back office talked about some of its clients to be problematic and condescending. - The turnover and policy changes were too frequent to plan my career around. - While staying at the company was the comfortable thing to do, I believe it held my career back. - I can’t think of any aspect of Stride that is better than other employers.

Pros
The people are amazing and the work is interesting and fun. Being such a collaborative environment means you learn so much about what the other teams are doing.
Cons
I honestly cannot think of any.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Fellow workers are really friendly and will jump to occasion for any help you need. The driving force behind is to do good which is well built into the very core of the company.
Cons
None, as it have been a pleasure working here
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
You'll see lots of different projects. People oriented culture. Great group of people
Cons
Moving from project to project can be disorienting if you want to be on something long term.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
A group of very intelligent and passionate folks that honestly CARE. Truly a culture of learning and thought leadership.
Cons
Just as many other growing firms experience, handful of growing pains. Transparency from Leadership is extremely beneficial as we continue to improve Stride.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
work life balance working to build management structure great people
Cons
Indecisive leadership recent attrition rigid non-compete slow to change / adapt business strategy isn’t applied beyond sales process
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Uninteresting work, low pay, subjective promotion process, great exit opportunities
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- really laid back work/life balance on some clients so enough time to work on personal projects - friendly team of engineers to learn from and pair with. Great engineering practices employed like pairing, review, agile - if you're interested in rails/react full-stack work, there's a lots of it. - exit opportunities are high. Lots of people leave to much higher pay and interesting work. - there is opportunity to learn a lot at the company. I've learned a lot here and am happy for all that I've learned from my peers.
Cons
- terrible pay compared to industry. Engineers seem to be paid 20-30% less than industry. There were people making less than 90k in tech in NYC, which is embarrassing for everyone involved. - lot of corporate speak to avoid the obvious questions and complaints - high turnover lately - no intention on paying more probably because the company's highest value is its own profit, despite a list of values. Consulting seems to be a business of maximizing that gap between employee pay and what clients pay for engineers and so there's pressure to keep salaries low. At least product companies pay its people fairly. - there has not been a promotion process for a year and the process itself is highly subjective, done by managers who have never worked with the engineer. It opens the door for favoritism and politics.

Great place to gain exposure to a range of technical stacks/skills
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Rare opportunity to work at various top-rated companies across New York City and learn new technical stacks in the process. My experience at Stride allowed me to level up in a diverse skill set (e.g. DevOps as well as modern javascript frameworks) that isn't as easy to do when working on a single product team. Incredible group of co-workers who are a pleasure to work with and who care about technical excellence and about the success of the Stride/client team as a whole. Hands down the best group of people I've ever worked with.
Cons
Even with a supportive team of Stride devs, joining a client team as an outside consultant and adjusting to new culture, technical practices, etc can be challenging Stride does their best to allow developers to give input on where they are assigned but this is not always possible Because Stride teams embed with their clients, it is not a good fit for someone looking for a highly involved/consistent manager as who you work with day-to-day will change periodically when you switch clients
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Terrible company for any self respecting engineer, from a old Strider
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Very good people who are not management Some clients were great Stridees Onboarding Training developed by one of the principle consultants was great Some back office folks are really kind, others not so much
Cons
Disrespectful and disgraceful compensation for what they charge the clients 3 days of Sick Time (basically mandated by New York State, says a lot) They removed Stridees which were like community based award ceremonies based on the Core Values MASSIVE attrition rate Favoritism in promotions
