Starshot Reviews

Lots and lots of politics which doesn't create a good environment. They created a hierarchy of ambiguous ranks and levels, something like a serious management consulting company would properly use, not a marketing agency. The only people I've seen advance or move up the ranks were friends with their boss. Very few people are true professional at what they do. Only 2-3 people do real design and development work, then there is this whole clump of VPs/Managing Consultants/Strategic Consultants/Consultants who have to manage and coordinate things they don't know how they work. Starshot also used to send this long propaganda emails with philosophical references but everything was portrayed exactly opposite of reality.

Easily the worst job I've ever had: - Role was not as promised - Benefits not as promised - Duties changed significantly for the worse within a few months of joining the company - Zero training - Zero team building - Zero leadership - Zero accountability, especially within management. - Zero collaboration or positive interaction. - Zero creativity - it's all farmed out to freelancers. - High levels of micromanagement, bullying and backstabbing - working here felt like a fraternity hazing exercise. - Terrible projects - boring, pointless, lame. Starshot doesn't say no to anything - this is the bottom of the barrel, the worst projects possible in the worst environment possible. - Overall, staff is very green and inexperienced. Not sure how anyone would advance, and there are no guidelines or mentoring provided towards how to promote. - Very high turnover. Virtually everyone is brand new. The few people who have been there more than a year or two (only 3 or 4 out of 35 employees?) were still doing the same job as when they started. During my time there, multiple people were let go - never heard of anyone being promoted.
