Hi STRIVE candidate, Firstly, we'd like to say thank you for posting your thoughts. We strive to constantly improve and be better. The daily effort to grow sometimes prevents companies from taking a step back, so we always appreciate any feedback provided. We 100% hear you and understand that you didn't have the interview experience you expected. We have a very close camaraderie with all of our amazing teammates and as we continue to build our strong company culture, demeaning or aggressive tone is not our intent and apologize if it was construed that way. In this situation, our management team had really high mutual excitement for you to join the team. Unfortunately, it wasn't a mutual fit based on the compensation range we had on the job listing. Your desire for higher compensation was absolutely appreciated, but unfortunately not a fit at this current time for the role. We value every single candidate that interviews at STRIVE because we wouldn't be where we are today without the teammates that join us in our journey. The teammates we have are deeply appreciated and we make sure to have an amazing family environment where everyone enjoys being here, is highly respected, grows along with the company. We're constantly growing, both as a company and as individuals, so we take this as constructive feedback to improve STRIVE even further. Best of luck in your other role!
