Great company to work for, but experiencing growing pains - Anonymous employee Xero Employee Review

Some areas suffer from lack of direction. There's been a lot of hiring middle management-types and a lot of these hires leave a lot to be desired - lots of talk, very little walk. Little opportunity for professional development unless you're in the Product teams. Company values are a little contrived and the way they're constantly drilled in is quite patronizing. Challenges the business is facing need to be more transparent rather than the "everything is great!" rhetoric that is constantly conveyed.
