Careers | Stride

Honesty

We are radically transparent with each other and our clients. We practice total honesty, because the truth can be hard to reveal even with complete information, but it's almost impossible to reveal when there is no honesty.

Humility

We can always learn from others, no matter how experienced we are. We believe that no one individual is better than any other individual. We embrace the fact that we don't have all the answers, and we know that we never will.

Respect

We listen when others speak, and we respond when others inquire. We embrace different worldviews. We respect other’s opinions even if we don’t agree with them. We respect our peers, our clients, and most importantly, ourselves.

Learning from Failure

Our failures are our most potent opportunities for learning. We reflect on and learn from our failures in order to continuously improve.

Willingness to Help Others

We make time when possible to assist others in need. Often this is other Striders and our Clients, but this value extends into the community as well.

I start my day at 8:45am, meeting the stride engagement team for coffee (paid for by Stride) and planning our day. At 9am, walk into client office. Say hi to team. Check email. 9:15am standup with team 9:30am pair program with client team member on new feature for financial exchange 12:00pm lunch with some client team people and some Striders 1:00pm pair program. At 6:00pm I leave office to go home for dinner!

Stride has an open and collaborative vibe. Spontaneous pairing sessions or discussions on how to train each other in a new technology are a natural outcome from this group of people. Stride has true friendships, so it is a place where asking for or offering help is easy. In my first week at Stride a bunch of us were at the office and a comment about how a process could be easier snowballed into us building an internal app for Stride. Productivity like that happens when people care about the team’s success as much as their own.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

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.

Best, Debbie
