Work Life Balance - Sales BDM qlub Employee Review

Office located near town hall station.

Management & Culture: Leadership lacked professional boundaries, frequently discussing confidential personnel matters and performance issues of team members with their peers. There was an inappropriate level of transparency regarding "who should be let go," which created a culture of distrust rather than a professional environment. • Mass Turnover: This environment resulted in 100% turnover of the Australian sales team (all 10 representatives across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth) within a single 3-month period. This was a direct consequence of shifting expectations and a lack of support from senior leadership. • Unrealistic Commission Structure: The KPIs and sales targets were historically unattainable. Even after management acknowledged this by reducing targets by 50% in the new year, the numbers remained out of reach for the majority of the team. Because a 50% target achievement was required to trigger any commission, most of the sales force never received their earned incentives.

- Good techstack because lot of good engineers had been hired over the time, but all of them quitting the company after few months is a different story.

Breaks get policed. Directors watch your Slack status and message the moment you switch to lunch/away — even if you’re drowning in work and your “lunch” ends up being late. The expectation feels like “always available.” Toxic leadership culture. Leaders argue in public Slack channels over basic stuff, and it can get personal between managers. You end up watching messy blame games instead of doing your job. Don’t count on proper experience/service letters. If you’re leaving and expect a normal letter that reflects what you did, be careful. Some people receive paperwork that’s basically useless and doesn’t acknowledge the work they actually delivered. Time off is a battle. Leave requests get rejected often because the team is “too small.” Even when leave is approved, the directors will reject them even after the leave date, and you’ll get pay deductions or issues with leave records. Burnout is normal here. Workload + limited time off + constant pressure leads to fast burnout. Turnover stays high because people don’t last long under this setup.
