What is the hiring process like at Stirista?

The team members I interacted with were generally professional and the role had the potential to be interesting from a data and marketing perspective. The company operates in a space with a lot of opportunity if leadership is aligned and engaged with the product and market.

Role expectations changed quickly after I started in December 2025. During the hiring process I was assured that my prior client relationships would not be the primary focus, but shortly after joining I was told those relationships were actually a key reason I was hired. I was repeatedly asked to provide lists of clients from previous companies, and felt significant pressure to do so so other reps could pursue those relationships internally. Leadership presence also felt limited. Many leaders did not appear to have a strong understanding of the industry or the company’s capabilities, which made it difficult to get clear answers when questions came up around products or strategy. I was also constantly left out of sales and product meetings without any desire to fix the issue to include me. After submitting a client list at management’s direction, I was terminated abruptly. The explanation referenced a “non-compete,” even though the documentation I had previously provided referenced a non-solicitation, not a non-compete. The timeline described in the termination notice also didn’t align with when that documentation had already been shared internally earlier prior to starting the role.
