Starburst Company Culture & Values

Describe your company culture in one word. What made you pick that word?
This is a tough one, but if I had to pick just one word, I’d pick ‘aligned.’ Whether it’s our value of working as “one team,” or keeping our “customer-obsessed” objective in mind — it’s centered around being aligned and keeping everyone moving in the same direction.

Our company is experiencing some awesome momentum right now and our All-Stars are doing an amazing job collaborating and working in sync across teams, goals and values to keep it going!

How long have you been with the company, and what professional growth or development have you seen in that time?
I’ve been with Starburst for almost three years, and one of the most energizing projects I’ve worked on recently was bringing back in-person new hire onboarding, which we call All-Star Liftoff. We designed a two-day immersive experience at our Boston headquarters focused on building cross-functional relationships, grounding new hires in our culture and product and aligning them with our go-to-market strategy. It was an opportunity for me to step back into the shoes of a new hire and reimagine how we set our people up for success from day one.

What made the experience even more meaningful was the timing — we’re in the midst of an exciting hiring surge, especially for engineers across the United States and Poland. There’s a real sense of momentum, and this program helps us channel that by making sure our new All-Stars feel connected and ready to contribute quickly. At the same time, we’re embracing AI in new and thoughtful ways — not just in our product, but in how we work. That shift has challenged our team to think differently about how we scale, stay efficient and build for the future. Being part of a company that’s both growing fast and evolving intentionally has been a huge part of my own development.
