Pros

Career paths for performance and for those who take active management of their career - a growing company creates opportunity. Working with some amazing colleagues both in regional and global roles. Collaborative, limited hierarchy in how things get done - can mean ambiguity often, and if you can work with that you'll love it. So much potential as a company

Cons

It's not for everyone and it moves fast and things change - I love that but some people don't.

Pros

Xero has a great product and a lot of very passionate employees who work very hard for their customers.

Cons

The executive leadership at Xero is creating a toxic, backstabbing culture that promotes yes-men at the expense of honest dialogue. It's impossible to make decisions at the company, and multiple rounds of layoffs are leaving all employees shell shocked and fearful. Marketing teams are under-resourced while more demands are constantly being placed on teams to do more. When constraints are communicated, employees are blamed for them, rather that listened to. Multiple colleagues have said the same thing. Additionally, management has instituted a 'rank and yank' policy where everyone is graded on a forced curve, where the bottom quarter are immediately put on a PIP.
