STRV Response
4yHi! Thank you for the kind words and the constructive feedback. Having been here for 3+ years, you no doubt know that we're constantly looking for ways to be better. Regarding the pay, perhaps you weren't here at the end of 2021, when we introduced profit sharing throughout the entire company — which increases the pay of everyone at STRV by about 10–20%, and which we'll be doing every year that we hit our goals.
Culture is incredibly important to all of us and we will never take the great people we have for granted. There are improvements in the works to make sure we do the changes following COVID, and the changes that naturally come with time, justice. To be honest, our "bar with beer" is far from being at the top of our mind. We've introduced new ways to gather feedback from everyone here, we're rethinking our office spaces, our benefits and everything in-between, and all we want is vocal people like you to tell us what can be better.
As for turnover, "huge" might be pushing it a bit. People thrive when facing new challenges, especially nowadays — with the amount of opportunities around — and at the age of the majority of our people. It's the norm in our industry. However, we have plenty of people who've been here for 5, 7, 10+ years, and that's pretty great.
And to your CEO points: We all do the best we can with the qualities we have, and there's a lot more to any job than communication. Lubo does his best to be transparent and open — that's one thing we're sure of. But we hear you. You absolutely have a right to this opinion, it's clear that you're coming from a reasonable (and not angry) place and we'll pass it along.
Thank you again for the feedback. Hope you're doing well, wherever you are!
