Pros

Amazing smart and focused coworkers. The office is filled with passionate people who bring their best everyday. It feels like we're on the cutting edge of tech, and pushing forward each month.

Cons

Besides skill development (which I recognize as important of course, for more than just a fancy title), I don't see a path for promotion or other career growth. I'll probably leave Strava a much stronger Developer, but without preparation or opportunity for leadership roles. Low turn-over (some managers being in place for over six years) has not allowed the company to be infused with new ideas/culture and prevented promotion from within. Mediocre pay (but good benefits) in the 50th or below percentile.

Pros

The main pros are that there are actually some really brilliant people who work here. They are intelligent, funny, and have an actual clear vision of how things should be done to deliver a great product to users.

Cons

The cons are that leadership only believes in and genuinely elevates white male voices. Sure, there are ERGs and prominent people of color at the company. But the real decisionmaking power is made by a combination of certain "golden boys" and their buddy, Claude. The ones driving the ship actually lack critical thinking skills.
