Pros

Most of the pros were in the past when it appeared things were moving in the right direction with a cool tech strategy. I like my team and at least my group appears intact...for now.

Cons

Let's start with who has left this organization in the last two months - - CEO - CFO - VP Product - Software developer - Financial Analyst (only one here) - Head Recruiter Not to mention the CIO and COO leaving last fall! What start-up do you know with that kind of turnover (out of 40 people in Chicago)? Yeah, me too. And why are they gone? Maybe because the founder (current "CEO") barks incoherent orders from Reno (yes, Reno Nevada...don't ask), changes long-term strategy on a daily basis, and even if he stuck to a consistent strategy, does not have the skillset or right team to execute it given the recent turnover. Let's turn this around before it's too late.

Strike Social Response
9y
It’s always disappointing to hear someone is frustrated, and we take feedback seriously. In fact, we just surveyed our employees, using Net Promoter, and our score was 3x above eNPS benchmarks. We like to give our employees a lot of freedom and run a very flat organization. As a result, our numbers speak for themselves. In the last year, our Chicago team has grown by more than 300%, we opened four international markets, and our revenues doubled. Our strategies remain consistent: work hard, be the best at what you do, provide excellent service — and you will be rewarded. We’re sorry you are feeling unsatisfied right now; we’ll keep trying to do better.

Pros

Working here is a pleasure because Strike Social keeps exceeding client's goals and KPIs and that makes everything easier.

Cons

There really aren't any this place is engaging because everyone works closely together even though we're mostly remote.

Pros

Since the first day walking through the Strike door, I knew that I was about to be a part of something special. The high energy, determination and passion that embodies the Strike team is not only contagious, but you can feel it in the air. Opportunity is everywhere. As an international company, you get to learn not only about the ins and outs of the booming digital advertising industry, but also about international markets, business, people and cultures. We are in rapid growth stage so change is constant. The open office layout is truly unique as it helps to keep you in the loop with whats going in each department and allows for direct, open communication. I don't feel like an employee here, but rather a member of a winning team where all work done adds value. Get ready to inspire, be inspired and make an impact.

Cons

Rapid growth causes a faster than normal fast paced environment. Hours are longer than average, but that's only because the time flies and all the sudden its past normal working hours.
