Pros

Great culture where everyone is friendly and approachable. Good Times Crew organise social events and shared lunch. Really feel part of the whole team and we all get shares in the company.

Cons

Out of the 4 jobs I have had in my career, this is the best, so I can not fault it. Would be cool to get a larger outdoor courtyard area or something - although think this might be happening in a month or so.

Watch for the potential basketball court forming in front the new and old buildings :)

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.
