Pros

Lots of personal and professional development opportunities, lots of diverse social groups (sports, yoga, gaming, knitting... Yes, knitting). We also have a lot of support for flexible working arrangements and specific drives to have an inclusive and diverse work place.

Cons

We are still growing as a company and that means there is often a lot of change, and some of it quite dramatic. If you're looking for a quiet life this might not be the place for you.

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.
