Pros

It's rare to find a company that actually lives their values but Xero is one of those rare companies. The health insurance offerings, retirement options, leave time, and stock options are all top notch. The leadership really listens to their people and it shows in Xeros attitudes at work, everyone is extremely upbeat and personable. One example of this is an additional day off that we were recently granted and the expansion of maternal/paternal leave benefits (6 months!) I could see myself with Xero for the long haul :)

Cons

Not too many cons to speak of.

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.
