Core Values

Honesty

We succeed on our terms when we act with integrity.

We surface risks because otherwise we contribute to the harm that occurs if they happen.

The sum of our actions every day earns and maintains trust. One false action loses it.

Humility

We drive to team over individual success.

We build people up. We include them in the conversation. We work to earn trust.

We reframe our perception of others’ motives and intentions to listen, empathize, and learn.

Respect

We listen when others speak, and we respond when others inquire.

We embrace different worldviews. We respect others’ opinions even if we don’t agree with them.

We respect our peers, our clients, and ourselves.

Learning

We embrace facts and feedback to make better choices over time.

At a regular cadence, we reflect on our decisions mindful of our own biases: Outcome Bias, Self-serving fallacy, Fundamental attribution error.

Helping Others

We go back to help another Strider cross the finish line.

We intervene or escalate when a Strider is confronting job strain or an unsafe situation.

We protect our own work/life boundaries and well-being to have the capacity to care for others.

Diversity & Inclusion

Our Commitment

In 2014, I founded Stride Consulting on the premise that all teams have the potential to be high-functioning, empowered, and happy. As we grow, it is important to our culture and our business that we strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion. Our team and all teams that Stride works with will benefit, as a result. Diverse teams solve complex problems better, perform better, and have higher morale.

To me, being truly committed to diversity and inclusion means doing the right thing when no one is looking. It means equal pay for equal work. It means having a zero-tolerance policy on harassment. It means giving everyone a voice and listening when they speak. It means sacrificing revenue by being willing to fire a vendor or client for failing to uphold our code of conduct in order to maintain a safe working environment for all.

Diversity and Inclusion is not something you can ever consider “done.” It is not a checkbox on a to-do list. It is a mindset, a way of conducting ourselves day in and day out.

At Stride, we pride ourselves on working hard to combat unconscious bias both in our hiring process and in our everyday work. We don’t assume we’ve gotten it all perfect. Instead, we continuously look for areas of improvement. Above all, we are humble and willing to learn every single day.

Open Source

Striders build and maintain open-source projects like Remote Retro, as well as internal learning materials like our fundamentals training and our playbook. We encourage everyone to contribute and provide paid time to working on open source and internal projects.

Professional Development

Growth at Stride starts with on-boarding, where you'll be trained in the why and how of test-driven development, pair programming, Agile ceremonies, and entering teams successfully.

We encourage professional development with individual budgets and organized trainings from thought leaders like Sandi Metz, Esther Derby, and the Agile Fluency Project™ developed by Diana Larsen and James Shore.

I’ve been able to work for companies in different industries and solve problems using different tech stacks. It’s great to be able to experience a wide variety of work, which you wouldn’t necessarily get at a product company. Stride is also focused on employing smart people who love teaching, so I’ve also learned a lot from my coworkers.
