Stride reviews

Absolutely abysmal pay and unrealistic expectations

Decision makers forge ahead on decisions without sufficient requirement-gathering and without listening to concerns raised by those doing the work. This leads to confusion across stakeholders, projects routinely going over budget and/or underdelivering, and unrealistic workloads, Those folks end up feeling devalued and demoralized when, had they been listened to in the first place, avoidable inefficiencies could be averted. Leadership tends to overestimate current AI capabilities. They assume that AI is ready to do much more than it can at the moment and are sacrificing quality and consistency along the way. They reduce head counts and expect remaining folks to produce more with AI. So content quality and morale both suffer. This might improve as AI gets better, of course, but I anticipate leadership continuing to just expect more than is reasonable.
