Pros

A great inclusive place to work. Lots of options to work flexibly (both hours and from home or office) and many super smart people to work with who genuinely like working at Xero that gives a challenging but healthy collaborative work environment Lots of human values that are championed throughout the business. Lots of leave options and well-being outcomes that give staff great opportunity to take up. Wellness of staff is a high priority and there isn't any doubt on this. Working offices are superbly designed and offer lots of small benefits (coffee, fruit, soda, break out areas, Friday night drinks, non-alcoholic socials and other events).

Cons

Can be very changeable with fast-paced environment, lots of variables. Some inconsistencies with $ around attracting employees versus retaining current employees, some negativity around options for growth opportunities.

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.
