Pros

Talented colleagues and free food on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Cons

Executives have been driving the company into the ground. There is no job security and no career growth as everything is being automated now to reduce headcount and downsize the company. Everyone in the company is looking for jobs elsewhere because we just never know when we'll be let go. Xero is no longer a sustainable place to work.

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.
