Pros

Initially it seemed like a great organization that valued each employee.

Cons

Poor leadership, no equal opportunity. Upon returning from a leave I was let go without a good reason. Everything may look good on the outside but speak to some people that have worked there before considering joining.

Thank you for sharing your experience working with Xero. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and pride ourselves in our human approach to our work and with each other. We also encourage our employees to use leave as needed in order to bring their best selves to work. However, extended leaves should always be communicated with your manager and PX Business Partner. Thank you again and best of luck. -Julie, Director of People Operations

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.
