Pros

The people are amazing, they hire a lot based on cultural fit, so most are easy going, great to get along with, and want to hang out after work. Management are also very approachable. A lot of people are too qualified for their roles, but there are opportunities available (to those that work hard!), and the work/life balance makes this worth it. The job can be challenging, and you really do get out what you put in.

Cons

Things can take some time to get done. A few opportunities have been missed because of a higher up taking their time. We're a very busy company, but there's now more tape than a few years ago.

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.
