toxic culture, will not back

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Maybe there were business trip opportunities, but now is rare.

Cons

Toxic Company Culture: You'll only survive here if you go against the company culture. The company doesn't want you to stay long and contribute continuously; you might suddenly leave without warning. Your leader wants you gone quickly to avoid delaying recruitment, even if you're highly capable. Lack of Humanity: Many colleagues are extremely rude and constantly ask you for favors. There are many other signs, too numerous to list. Work Intensity: Performance is aligned with colleagues in mainland China. Even working hard in Sydney isn't enough. Did you know that some people work 996 hours, even 007 hours a day for this job? If your performance is poor, expect to be fired. This doesn't necessarily mean you're not working hard; it could be because you haven't won over your leader in China. In short, it's very unstable. Blindly Betting on AI: Every department, regardless of its role, must be related to AI.

Pros

*Strong office culture in the Sydney office *Good health benefits, including complimentary Bupa 60s cover *Free daily lunch in the canteen from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm *Clients are rewarding and enjoyable to work with

Cons

*Pay is low, with some competitors reportedly offering close to 3x for comparable roles *Throughout 2025, only 2 reps had achieved 100% KPI attainment in a quarter *The KPI has strong emphasis on revenue delivery and product adoption (App ads feature). Overattainment in one quarter can create pressure or disadvantage in the following quarter *APAC leadership previously appeared disconnected from on-the-ground revenue drivers and often set unrealistic targets based on poor data interpretation. That said, APAC leadership has since been phased out and moved in-country *Role stability is limited *Promotions can be difficult to secure *There is a stronger emphasis on optics than on genuine job performance *The role currently requires four days in the office, with confirmed plans to move to five days by September 2026

Pros

The company overall has some decent benefits and the office is pretty cool.

Cons

The work itself it's quite repetitive and priorities are constantly changed. Management team is obsessed with automation and cutting down people, There are lay-offs often and the environment is not the best. Everyone is either dragging or just waiting to be laid-off. I highly recommend for people to negotiate salary at the beginning, because there are no promotions and no salary adjustments to inflation rate. Additionally, during my recruitment process, the numbers on top of the table were ones and by the end of a successful recruitment they low balled the offer by more than 20%. So be very careful. Stay strong!
