Great if you want work life balance - werkgeversreview Senior Consultant bij Strata Decision Technology

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.

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.

Strata is a well rounded company for its size and there is a good work culture there. I was able to learn many things because there was a need for people to wear “different hats”. As someone who is an IT generalist that was an amazing opportunity for me.

Some of the leadership in the IT department is not technical. Leadership requires the ability to mentor and guide rather than just “manage.” A leader who was technical would be able to all 3. I was not a fan of the remote culture there. I started after the pandemic and found it very hard to connect with people outside of my department because of it.
