Starnik Reviews

From the beginning they will start you at a salary that would make you laugh. They make promises of you having the ability to rise high in the organization quickly, because they are a start up (founded 2000). The ability to rise in the organization is strongly related to them being able to keep employees there. Ha. Any lateral movement across functions in the company is practically impossible unless it is to sales. The owners ignore giving employees empowerment. The CEO will blame you first before taking responsibility for his mistakes. Their ping pong table, that I had to walk around every day to get in the door, was only used as a recruiting ploy. You would get in trouble for playing on it even during a break. Management would not confirm that I worked there and would not talk to me or return my calls after I left making it difficult to prove I worked there.

This company has MAJOR trust issues and will take your hard working efforts and diminish them, as if you were absolutely clueless. The CEO & CTO are husband and wife. The CTO is also the companies Board President. Without going into great detail, the biggest thing I can say is that the negative reviews that are associated with this company are very true and extremely accurate. The lack of trust and the extreme micro-management is absolutely awful. The continued disregard about employees mentioning a hostile and toxic work environment, shows lack of respect. As an employee, contractor, or anything else, please be aware that you accepting to work for or with this company, will ultimately challenge you to choose between staying at a job to pay the bills or continue to allow for mental instability from the awful environment. They will claim that their pay and benefits are greatly competitive, but in this market and in this industry, they are not at all. I wish you the best in your decision making!
