Vantaggi

Starbrst is based on a powerful open source data lake query engine, but it takes waaaaaaaaaay more than a few federated and fast queries to build a true solution. The company is built on a flawed model and while the people are great, individually collectively it's a really toxic culture where trust and collaboration are scarce....

Svantaggi

while the sales strategy is well conceived, the actual execution is completely disconnected from reality. Entire Sales teams have been given quotas that are unrealistic boarding on nonsensical. While i hope the strategy pays off i don't see a successful future!!

Vantaggi

While we experience the typical challenges of a growing startup, leadership at Starburst is deeply committed to learning, evolving, and improving across the board—from product to culture. I’m proud to be part of a company where your voice matters and you’re trusted to make an impact.

Svantaggi

As with any startup, priorities can shift quickly, and you need to be comfortable adapting and pivoting. It’s not necessarily a downside—just the reality of working in a fast-moving environment.

Vantaggi

- Still fully remote (as of early 2026) - There are many teams with great chemistry, often smaller department teams and some cross functional teams. - Surrounded by smart, talented coworkers - Some amount of career growth is possible if it aligns with the company

Svantaggi

- The product organization greatly improved communication and process from late 2024 to late 2025. Recent changes within leadership and overall priorities have nullified much of these improvements. - Poor follow up on certain projects within the product org - Recent shifts in culture have made product and engineering unhappy. This has created a noticeable internal instability.
