Pros

You'll work with genuinely good people; people who you can hang out with at and after work. It hasn't been this way in the past, but the Denver office is growing in scope so I expect there to be lots of future opportunities for career growth within the company.

Cons

There are grumblings about Xero becoming too corporate-y. In my opinion, it's just a personal tolerance. Xero is becoming a mature company so if you want a super fast -paced "break things" type startup, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

We agree that our people are our best asset, and we continue to evaluate the best ways to help people at Xero develop and thrive along with our growth. I’m glad to hear your experience working with Xero was enjoyable! -Julie, Director of People Operations

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.
