Pros

Leadership really truly cares about each individual Investing on people, people leaders to make the place better which is already awesome place to work Use of latest tech (Aws stack) Share vesting scheme is great for long term working

Cons

First few months can be bit exhaustive as lot of information to digest, that's because it's a large organisation and transparent communication (you can join as many as Slack channels you want)

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.
