Pros
Flexible working hours, great place to learn about e-commerce, friendly folks all over the place across offices. Solid benefits.
Cons
Culturally frustrating: change is hard. Discussions often initiated on email. More people looped in with every reply, and thread dies a quiet death: no followup. Especially visible in HQ. This is not about one person, it happens consistently. Poor initiative, no sense of ownership/cooperation to get things done. There is a feeling of "not my office, not my team, I don't need to try too hard to help". There are the...

Company values not being practiced, people are not owning it. KPIs have to be aligned to provide incentive. Or line managers have to push this mindset harder, on pitching in together to make things better.

Pros
Nice quite central office with good lunch choices
Cons
Bad management and unable to compete in the region. The MD is only concerned about himself and his profile. How he is still in this position is beyond me and the majority of the existing staff. His record in improving the business is non existent in fact it has been steadily going downhill since he has been there.
Advice to Management
Leave and let the Australian business die a slow death

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I would like to correct a couple of incorrect points in your post -- Australia was our fastest growing region by year/year revenue growth in 2018, and grew its customer base at a double-digit rate from year-end 2017 to year-end 2018. ...

Pros
health and insurance benefits make up for the very average pay
Cons
It is a solution that has success in the U.S and Europe but not here. Its way overpriced for what you get and the team in AU is bare bones. The team is a 5th of the size it once was which is an indication of the success it is having in this region. They employed a new MD to get the business back on track but it has deteriorated even more since he was put in the position. Ask how many customers they have in APAC, not...

Pros
Some of the best people in the industry have been through this firm. It once was a great place to start your career in eCommerce or SaaS Fabulous health care benefits
Cons
Post IPO, the culture has deteriorated, you can see that by reading the reviews on here and the HR responses to same. While i appreciate that there was a need to turn the business to profit, cutting the culture to shreds and 'adjusting' the staffing levels was a poor methodology, now the company has a low internal knowledge base and a massive rift between line managers, the executive team and the front line staff. While...

If you continue to surround yourselves with only those who agree with you, all you get is a happy executive and no innovative discussion If you think all talent resides or originates in NC, then you will continue to perceive the rest of the world as a version of the US. Realistically, I don't think this company can recover under the current regime, they have too much hubris to ever admit a failure of leadership or stewardship.

Pros
Platform is robust - easy for a strong sales professional to sell, once accustomed to market Recent investments & restructuring of Support & Launch teams has stabilised the company Free decaf tea & coffee Team attitude is present in the office as shown by regular team meetings and dishwashing rotations.
Cons
Soft leadership - lacks ability to push team, this has shown in sales & marketing results over the last 6-12 months Dark cloud hanging over the office, employees will often be silent for hours, arrive & depart as they please. Very unenthusiastic environment.
Advice to Management
Don't be afraid to push your teams, we take as much pride in our results as you.

Low on salaary scale. Sometime the US office dictated the path for AU office too much. Needs autonomy.

Pros
People, a wide mix in many ways, some fantastic "brains" and experience Location Benefits The senior management rating below does not apply to the whole Australian management team, only one individual, most are doing the best they can (sales, launch, am, office)
Cons
Ineffective Australian MD Lack of Recognition from Australian MD Training needs to improve Lack of talk between departments that are managed from afar, the right hand often doesn't know what the left hand is doing, especially in relation to the Australian employees. Lack of communication from the US to Australia as a whole US not knowing enough about Australia and the Australian market, it is not a clone of the...
