Pros

- 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

Cons

- 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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
