Pros

If you are right out of school, you gain a lot of technical and client facing experience, but you can get that a lot of places now.

Cons

I walked into the office the other day to find that my colleague had been fired because he stumbled upon salary files that were on a shared drive that was not locked down. It's kind of funny that an executive of a technology company with a massive amount of data containing PHI information can't figure out how to lock down files or find a private folder. I would think that if you fire him, you should fire her too, but of course, executives at Strata are like royalty, untouchable and there for life despite how little results they produce. This is just one example of the corruption and politics running rampant at Strata, but sure has prompted me to launch full force into my job search. Employees are treated like children instead of the professionals that they are. We are constantly talked down to, and activities such as playing capture the flag and participating in book club are mandatory (CEO is requiring the entire company to read a new client's book to suck up a tad bit harder). In addition, the company is full of useless middle and upper management where no one is really sure what they do besides sit and collect fat salaries. In a jam, the sure don't help you but will definitely throw you under the bus or undermine you. Overall, stay away. Yeah if you are right out of school, you gain a lot of technical and client facing experience that you can take somewhere else, but it's just not worth the drama.

Pros

What I appreciate most about working here is the people. I genuinely enjoy who I work with and feel cared for and respected. My voice is heard, and I have seen my ideas turn into action, which makes the work feel meaningful. There is a high level of trust and flexibility. I feel empowered to get my work done without micromanagement, and I’m able to integrate life and outside responsibilities into my week when needed. The hybrid model (two days in office) and Flex Fridays twice a month are real, consistent perks that make a difference year round. The culture is kind, flexible, and driven. Whether you’re on campus or on Zoom, it feels human. Meetings often start with social check-ins, and leaders seem to care about their teams as people first, then employees. That tone matters. I’ve experienced significant growth in my career here. My role has continued to expand as the organization grows, and I’ve had opportunities to lead, learn, and take on more responsibility. I’ve also seen promotions and financial reward over time. My manager provides thoughtful feedback, regular validation of my skills, and consistently checks in on my experience and development. Beyond the day-to-day, I value how the company invests in community events. Participating in things like the Step Up for Kids stair climb with my team for a local Chicago cause was a meaningful experience and not something every employer would support.

Cons

At times, communication can feel more reactive than proactive. Some annual processes can sneak up, and concerns tend to gain traction only after they are raised more visibly. As we continue to grow, more proactive planning and communication would strengthen an already solid foundation.
