Resident Solutions Architect Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied online. The process took 1 day.
Scheduled a video call with a recruiter. Had me discuss my experience. Made a comment about how my LinkedIn was missing details. Then proceeded to go down a list of skills, asking whether I had experience in them. The whole time he was clearly checking his phone, not paying attention. I got the impression he hadn't really looked at my resume, because the questions he asked were redundant if he had read it. Commented on my age. Told me he would let me know by the following Monday. Never heard from him again. Having done a good bit of recruiting myself, I felt this was an unprofessional interaction and a waste of my time.

Starburst Work Experiences
- 5.0Awesome but also challengingSr. Engineer • Former EmployeeAugust 22, 2024Pros: Get to work on some very complex and interesting tech. Team is always willing to help. Some of the strongest engineers I've ever worked with. New leadership is strong. The potential of the market and the differentiation of the product compared to Snowflake and Databricks is massive.Cons: Took awhile to bring in new leaders who understand the market and the tech. It caused us to waste some time and lose some good engineers. The work can be challenging. The product is complex and you have to be willing to learn to keep up. The CTOs are challenging and take some time to work well with. But, if you are willing to learn and put in effort, it's worth it.
- 5.0Great tech, great leadership, huge opportunityEngineering Leader • Former EmployeeJune 27, 2021Pros: --> The tech is solid and this is a very hot space. Company is definitely poised to do big things. --> Very supportive of remote work --> Great engineering leadership (rolling up into a great CEO!) ...and this is coming from someone with zero equity, so I have no reason to mislead you (lol). I unfortunately had to leave after eight months for reasons that had nothing to do with Starburst, but I am eagerly referring friends there because I really think it's the best opportunity in Boston right now.Cons: None. You will need to be flexible, resilient, and take ownership of your work/path. But if you can't do that you shouldn't work at a hyper-growth company.
- 4.0Very Interesting Product Space but need to Distinguish From CompetitorsSolutions Architect • Former EmployeeFebruary 1, 2024Pros: - Data Analytics Space is very interesting and ever-evolving - Remote Friendly - A lot of autonomy to do what interests youCons: - Culture around finding Product Market Fit
