Pros

Culture, mission - everyone is so bought in to what Xero is trying to achieve.

Cons

Hyper-growth environment can be exciting but stressful sometimes. Exciting for the most part if you get stuck-in!

We've recently made significant changes to the benefits offered in the UK and more are coming soon (October 2014). We realize that we were behind the competition and made changes to ensure for our ability to attract and keep the best talent. Along with our recent move to a high-quality office in MK, our UK HR team is in the process of rolling out what we feel is a competitive slate of benefit and policy changes.

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.
