Pros

Great environment within a successful company, being involved in the latest technologies and agile team,s with plenty of scope to have a say and make a difference. Management also listen to what employees say and strive to keep people happy.

Cons

It is a fast-paced and fast-growing, technology-focused and agile environment which requires people to generally be self-sufficient and speak up within a team - maybe not as structured as large organisations for instance, which may not suit everyone.

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.
