Vantaggi

Compelling premise disrupting 40 year old Data Warehousing dogma. Hired strong individual contributors. Affable CEO. The product works well at massive scale, but it’s a heavy lift to implement and very few clients actually have the scope and scale to use Starburst. Most that do, use the open source version successfully or AWS version (Athena).

Svantaggi

Zero trust culture. Enterprise sellers treated like BDRs. Autonomy and creativity don’t exist. There are no inbound leads and no deals. None of the leaders have been in their position before. It’s devolved into a toxic mess. No one is hitting their numbers except for a very few. Churn wave is coming. They lied about rep productivity on my way in. Great comp plan, but 100% of $0 is $0. Not a place for Enterprise sellers at the moment.

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.
