Pros

Good work environment. Engaging and open culture with relevant values system. Room to grow and move up within org. Senior management seem to share strategy and give high level sense of direction to business. Feel involved in moving org forward.

Cons

Very high expectations of output have lead to impacts to work/life balance if you don't self manage. I think starting salaries for some ground floor positions are quite low, but due to ability to move up within org the power is still with the individual.

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.
