Great culture and flexible working hours - Senior Software Engineer StarTree Employee Review

The collaborative team culture is amazing. From top down, it's a customer first environment. There is a strong sense of camaraderie and mentorship. The product is evolving fast and customers are getting real value from it.

Fast paced and chaotic at times - par for the course given the stage they are at.

- Depending on the team you're in, people are truly supportive and top-notch. - Great for your carreer experience, since it's an Apache product and gravitates around the OSS ecossystem, it's a nice to have on the CV. - Technical challenges that are difficult but you learn a lot from them. - Good pay.

- No clear roadmap of where the company wants go and more importantly, no clear plan of how we'll achieve our goals. - Multiple layoffs. It's been two already in 2025. Not only this creates an uncertain and fearful environment, but employee's morale is overall down and you notice that people are tense or stressed. - Micromanagement, especially from C-level and the founding team. You often need to send updates not only to your direct manager, but also four or five more folks to make sure everyone's aware of every little detail, which mostly doesn't help with anything other than creating more work to be done. - The company is truly in an unstable state. No big deals being made, no big improvements to the product, nothing truly innovative other than AI additions (like the MCP server). - Because of all the above, you get close to zero career plan or growth opportunities.
