Pros

Great company with a strong product and great culture. The kiwi leadership team are down to earth, hardworking, and fun. Xero is growing like weeds and there's opportunity everywhere. Pay is great, benefits are good, and the facilities are top notch.

Cons

Not much of a "con" but we use the google suite of products which can prove challenging when communicating with overseas colleagues.

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.
