Pros

Been there for two years and still love the work environment and atmosphere. Very much like working for a startup for all the good reasons. There is plenty of opportunities to grow within the business. Easy to get to by public transport. A full kitchen including oven, stove and coffee machine. They offer free yoga classes. Great pay, great colleagues because they are serious about recruiting for culture as much as they do for your skills. The company is always thinking about the future and making the product better all the time. Can't talk up Xero enough!

Cons

Honestly can not think of any.

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.
