I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Xero
Interview
Round one was a phone interview. Really quick and easy, just asking questions to see if you knew about the company and the position in general.
Round two was in-person at the Denver office. Asked some general interview questions like difficult situations I've had to overcome, team projects in school, stuff like that.
Round three was on Google Hangouts with some of the partners. At this point they just wanted to make sure I was passionate about the company and give me a lot of time to ask them questions.

I interviewed at Xero (Auckland, Auckland) in Apr 2026
Interview
I had initial screening and then 1 hour assessment with behavioural questions and video interview. It was fast and moderately difficult. Then after a week of the assessment submission I got an email from HR team for initial interview. I am yet to take part in this interview and this will the my opportunity learn more about the company and the hiring process.
Online assessments then in person interview. Basic interview questions like which values do you align with most and why do you want to work here. Online assessment questions were basic accounting knowledge such as accrual vs cash accounting.
