      Pros

      Stoneridge has the typical perks that are common with the market: commission-based pay system, unlimited time off, many opportunities for a wide variety of work. Good team for the most part to work for.

      Cons

      Stoneridge is well-known in the the industry for the poor treatment of departing employees. Expect to be terminated on the spot without pay in case you ever decide to leave. The HR handbook requires two weeks notice when leaving but I guess they’re able to ignore this on their end. Need to feed your family during this time? Nah. Stoneridge would rather twist the dagger to prove a point. Expect to be made into a “bad employee” during this time, regardless of having a great track record until that point. Is this the Stoneridge way? Pay at Stoneridge is lower than market standards. The CEO comments that he “can’t help it if other companies are “overpaying” their employees,” rather than have a good hard look at maybe Stoneridge is actually low. The numbers speak for themselves. Is this the Stoneridge way? Keep backups of your timesheets. Management has been caught red handed on more than one occasion messing around with employee timesheets for billable hours. Unlimited time off is nice but good luck taking any of it. Unreasonably intense project schedules will keep you busier than you ever thought possible. Burnout happens quickly and it’s far too common. Far too aggressive implementation plans are in place that wear and tear at employees well being, and Stoneridge often falls flat on their face in meeting those goals, all at your expense. Is this the Stoneridge way? Management throwsaround the word “tenacity” when it comes to employee development to make up for being underequipped and unprepared when going about it. Expect to be thrown to the wolves with a steak in your pocket to fend for yourself when working at Stoneridge. Expect worklife balance to be all but nonexistent. Help and support, although praised as “always available,” are actually very hard to come by since either everybody is too busy to help, or too new to actually know anything. Multiple midlevel managers with an unjustified level of arrogance stand in the way from having any real conversations with leadership, with multiple check points along the way to make sure they hear what they want to hear. Is this the Stoneridge way? I could go on and on but Stoneridge is just another job. Stoneridge doesnt stand out, and Stoneridge doesnt care about you. They spend more time campaigning to get employees to vote to keep them on “the best places to work” lists than actually using that time to actually make it an enjoyable place to work. Loyalty is not given back, and going above and beyond only hurts you in the process. So just punch the clock at the end of the day and leave work at work. Learn from my mistake, the “Stoneridge way” is all hot air.

      I’m sorry to hear about any frustrations there were as you left the company. We make every effort to treat employees fairly and learn from everyone’s personal experience here. While there is a standard process for exiting, including interviews and the opportunity for feedback, I regret if that process was not followed and you didn’t have the opportunity to present feedback in person or in real-time. When consultants leave for another partner it is generally an industry standard practice for a short departure window. Here at Stoneridge, Leadership has an open door policy and if there were ever any major concerns not addressed by your manager, the CEO and President are only an email or IM away. And we do respond. We sincerely care about our team appreciate everyone’s unique contributions. We would always want the opportunity to talk through any challenges that have arisen, face-to-face, whenever possible. Pay - In addressing the matter of pay, this is calculated by the industry and market history. We pay close attention to making sure our compensation includes competitive wages and are inline with market standards, including great benefits, and a collaborative and supportive culture . The market has changed drastically over the past year and remote employees now have access to more companies than ever. Our human resources team is constantly assessing market standards, and are currently embarking on a compensation analysis initiative to create pay bands, and a clear career path for consultants to ensure everyone is paid appropriately. If anyone applying for a position has concerns about this, we are very transparent about salaries and benefits and that is discussed early in the hiring process. Timesheets - Timesheets are reviewed before submission for consistency and accuracy. If there ever was a case of any corrections happening where it shouldn’t have been, our management and leadership would want to know about it. We take our client-centric and integrity values seriously and have clear guidelines as to what should be designated as billable or non-billable. PTO - In the consulting world, it can be challenging to schedule vacations around projects, but we make every effort to get team members the time they need. We do monitor vacation time and very much encourage people to take time off to recharge and avoid burnout. At Stoneridge there has always been a focus on family and recognition of life outside of work. We allow and promote the flexibility to take time out of the day to attend children’s activities, school functions or address any other things that are important in the daily lives of our team members. We appreciate the valuable contributions of all past employees and wish you well on your career path, wherever it takes you. If you have specific feedback you'd like to share, feel free to reach out to me directly. Eric Newell, CEO

      Pros

      -Great people, probably the best part of working at Stoneridge. -Work-life balance is usually very good, not great but good. -Nice to be working with industry leading technologies.

      Cons

      -Lack of career path and planning. Wait-in-line promotion process for most while others seem to be able to create new job titles for themselves on a yearly basis. -training is terrible and close to nonexistent. -comp plan is lackluster, and below market standards in a variety of areas. -Stoneridge frequently chases the “new shiny things” in the industry without solidifying its expertise and maturity on what it does on a regular basis, leading to inconsistent implementations. -Lack of planning and front end input from people who actually have history and expertise in each respective area. - “controlled chaos” is the Stoneridge norm for project management. Best practices are often ignored. - Stoneridge is going through an identity crisis at the moment and it’s having a very negative impact on employee satisfaction and retention. Explosive, uncontrolled growth for the sake of growth is killing the culture, and Stoneridge is losing its cutting edge in the market.

      We are in a fast-moving industry where customer demand often exceeds the capacity of our team, so we have been responding to the opportunity by looking to grow the company. This has provided many opportunities for growth and I'm very pleased by how our team members have stepped up to new challenges. We have, at least in the last two to three years, been quite thoughtful about our growth and we have tried to get ahead of what we'd need so we support people well as we continue to grow. Certainly, in the early years of Stoneridge we didn't forecast the level of growth we had and we were often late to hire or promote leaders to take care of our team because we weren't ready. I feel we've made significant strides in that area over the past couple of years but it's clear you don't feel the same way. We are not perfect and can always be getting better, so please reach out to me so we can talk about this in more detail and I can give you the background on why decisions were made the way they were. I am certainly not always right but I'm always willing to explain my rationale. We have seen more people leave this year than ever before and it hurts to see good people go. We have been conducting exit interviews and we've tried to learn from that feedback and I've personally reviewed everyone who's left this year to try to understand why and what we could be doing differently. We are always working to improve our culture and our client delivery - I see fruit from that work on a daily basis and it's one of the key reasons I'm so proud of our team at Stoneridge.

      Pros

      Free popcorn? Free drinks? Very few pros.

      Cons

      Toxic work culture. Everyone is running out the door. Do not come here. Leadership doesn't care about their employees. Equity and inclusion doesn't exist here. Don't let them sell you on a fake talk track.

      I'm sorry you did not enjoy your time at Stoneridge - we very much care about our team members here and want everyone to be successful but it's certainly possible we missed the mark with you. Our tenured team is generally very happy at Stoneridge so I don't believe your experience is consistent with what we hear from our team. We have strong, experienced managers and a great onboarding program; we've been rated a best place to work every time we've applied and our attrition rate is less than others in our industry. If you have any specific feedback on what we could do to improve feel free to reach out to me directly. Eric Newell, CEO
