Pros

Great team members that work very hard to help customers out Great offices at Burwood East Working for a company with strong foundations in their US HQ Good starting point for a career in IT

Cons

Melbourne Operations Executives are criminally bad, and will single out and eliminate any kind of feedback that does not agree with their (lack of) Vision via intimidation and bullying. Way below average pay throughout all positions Lack of career progression paths High staff turnover rate as per unrealistic pressure for the pay grade and lack of leadership. Company will rather spit deliverables in a messy way to meet insane targets rather than commit to quality and best practices.

SPS Commerce Asia Pacific is proud of what it has achieved over the last four years in Australia. Our people are amazing and our positive culture is infectious! We acknowledge that we haven't got everything right first time and are improving every day. We have promoted and rewarded high performing staff, reclassified roles and increased salaries despite wages being stagnant in Australia. We are investing in our leadership team. Our managers complete a Dale Carnegie leadership program as well as attend local programs such as TEC. We have US leaders seconded and visiting us and we enjoy learning from each other. We also offer programs and support to staff on managing stress and building team collaboration. Thank you again for providing this opportunity to help us to do better. We encourage all employees to offer us continual feedback.

Pros

Free snacks, food, and beverages are consistently available. The company invests heavily in internal events, revenue kickoffs, and high-production celebrations. If you appreciate polished town halls, strong branding, and well-produced “rah-rah” moments, you’ll see plenty of them. There are also smart, capable people here – especially in operational and finance roles – who work extremely hard to keep things steady behind the scenes.

Cons

You know that scene in Titanic where Mr. Andrews calmly explains the math after the iceberg hits? At times, that’s what it feels like internally. Except instead of discussing the iceberg, we’re discussing “momentum” and “long-term positioning.” There’s a noticeable disconnect between messaging and measurable results. Leadership communicates confidence and “strong conviction,” but frequent strategic pivots and restructurings have left some teams unclear on priorities. When stock volatility affects morale, 401k’s, and equity compensation, employees understandably feel it – even if presentations remain upbeat. For those in accounting and finance the tension can feel amplified. You’re close enough to the numbers to understand the pressure yet still expected to project optimism. Cost controls tighten, headcount shifts, and priorities pivot – but the narrative rarely changes. Execution capacity doesn’t always match strategic ambition, and reorganizations have created fatigue across departments. Many teams are being asked to do more with less during a period of transition. Also worth noting: the company does not pay out unused PTO upon termination, so it’s important to understand the policy details. This isn’t about negativity – it’s about alignment. Employees can handle volatility. What erodes trust is when tone and reality don’t feel connected.
