Troubling times at Stoneridge - Anonymous employee Stoneridge Software Employee Review

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.
