Pros

A company that has the culture of a family unit. We all grow together and each individual in the business is made to feel equally as important as the next. Thus giving everyone a solid sense of purpose and belonging right the way to the top. The founders, Mark, Pat, Tim and Diane all share this passion and go to great lengths to ensure that the team and its clients all work towards this same common goal. In part is why the company has had such great success to date. The business model is simple, drive efficiencies to help mutually benefit the clients, brand and agencies. Maintain transparency for a mutual positive outcome. This is by far one of the most exciting and fun companies I have had the pleasure of being involved in.

Cons

Having greater support from agency trading desks.

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

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.

Weak Leadership Creates Weak Products

Pros

Fellow teammates were great and the companies/products we worked with.

Cons

The complete lack of experience of the leadership is evident. People are frequently yelled at for having ideas by the "CEO" who is a my way or highway kid. The compensation for helping win millions in contracts is nowhere to be seen. Since there is nothing truly special about Strike's product the company will fade away one their partners learn the same tricks. That's all it is...
