Pros

There are some smart people who work for Archistar, whose intentions are good. The product(s) is somewhat innovative and interesting to work on. Solve difficult product problems. People are generally nice and friendly, and listen to what you have to say. Effort goes into social events and meals. There are some nice perks if you stick around long enough.

Cons

There is serious lack of focus and vision: too many projects and ideas are undertaken with little result and a lot of time wasted. The CEO dictates product development and micro manages teams. Archistar is a sales led company, not a product or user led company. This means sales often panic when they don't hit targets and cause disruptions within the company. There is no culture of user research or analytics to drive decision making. The company values are poorly defined, and no one is held accountable to them. There is an air of arrogance about Archistar when it compares itself to its competitors. This is compounded when success is defined as gaining unicorn status and becoming rich. Career growth and development is limited. Archistar prefer staff to leave if the challenge is too great for them.

Thank you for your feedback, both good and not so great. As it appears you work at Archistar we are disheartened to have not had the opportunity to directly discuss your opinions with you sooner. We would love the opportunity to chat and work through your observations and see where we can improve, and also communicate with you in more detail why certain decisions are and/or have been made in the best interest of our platform for our valued clients. We want our people to be passionate about the company they are working for, and proud of the difference they are making in the proptech industry. We trust having this conversation with you will provide both yourself and our team some clarity and peace of mind. Please be sure to reach out! At Archistar, we do value our people and encourage innovation and collaboration amongst teams. To support our growth, this requires user feedback to be received from all team members, including our sales division, who speak regularly with our valued clients. In saying this, we do not feel the platform is defined solely by sales. Our product team consists of multiple industry experts building new cutting edge technology that are first to market, so our internal expertise and product user feedback is absolutely critical to the company’s direction! Archistar has a big global vision, and when our company achieves product breakthroughs and milestones, we do like to celebrate our successes. To achieve success, Archistar invests a lot of time and resources into developing their team members and providing job opportunities within the company where possible. Whether this may be mentorship, coaching, workshops, internships, sponsored internal/ external learning programs, job variety across divisions etc. If you feel you are not being provided adequate development opportunities, again, please reach out and let us know! We are always happy to receive suggestions to help boost our team members to be the best they can be.

Pros

Some smart engineers work there.

Cons

No leadership at all, needs experienced leaders brought in quick! No direction with micro management from many levels. The "tech" is not AI, good marketing makes it sound like it is. Sales led business not product led at all, chasing adhoc contract work that distracts everyone.

Hey there, this is Natasha, Head of People and Culture. It appears you currently work at Archistar, and I would love to get more details around your feedback if you would be happy to meet with me, or even just provide more feedback in our next engagement survey? Leadership at Archistar is important to us, and something we are continually working on. I think your input could really help us shape that vision. As a fast growing start up we won’t get everything right, but we will most certainly listen and make changes asap, please come and chat.

Pros

Collaborative Culture, WFH option. Great product - the next tech unicorn. Really brilliant people and one of the best work environments in Australia

Cons

The commission structure is a joke. The overall OTE is way under than advertised.

As always, thanks for the feedback both good and not so good. We very much appreciate that you chatted to us about the commission structure before you left and changes have been made accordingly, we wish we could have sorted it sooner. Good luck in your next role and thank you for contributing to our work environment.
