Pros

The office space (which is shared with 5 other companies) is a dog friendly environment. The other interns were super nice. There is an open work space. You can work in the office or in the main space, although the interns were aggressively told we didn't spend enough time in the actual office. We get free lunch on Monday's but you have to work through lunch. They are hiring more full time employees so hopefully the work load will be disturbed more evenly.

Cons

Management wrote a lot of these reviews, don't be fooled. There are long hours with 0 wiggle room to change your schedule. There is only 6-8 employees so it makes for a very awkward office at times. The senior employees are unapproachable and cold. During our interview process we were promised travel credits and it was never mentioned again. A lot of projects that were given were just data input. Interns were forced to use their own social media networks to promote their brand and they were extremely aggressive about it (not okay!!!) We were expected to work 40 hours a week and if we had to leave early or had a medical appointment we had to make it up, ridiculous as this was unpaid. I do not recommend Stride. The "experience" from this non-paid internship is not worth it.

Pros

There is never a boring day at Travelstride: each day I get to work on new and interesting challenges, build products I genuinely find interesting, and work with a team of people I am excited to see every day. The amount I've grown in my time at Travelstride is incredible, and an opportunity I don't think I would have gotten anywhere else.

Cons

The pace is fast, but that comes with being a startup. The entire team is close knit and constantly willing to help each other out and moving towards the same goal.

Pros

I've been working with Travelstride for 5 years now, and it's been the longest and most fulfilling employment of my career so far! The work environment is professional, yet welcoming, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. Everyone I've had the pleasure to work with has been not only highly professional but also incredibly personable. The company fosters a culture of support and camaraderie, making it a fantastic place to grow both personally and professionally. Looking forward to many more great years ahead!

Cons

One downside is that because our team is spread out worldwide, we don’t get the chance to meet in person as often as we might like. Hopefully, the company's plan to meet everyone in one country will be realized soon, and we’ll get the chance to connect in person. Still, I look forward to many more great years ahead!
