Pros

Generally great people across the board. Decent perks in terms of leave (annual leave/PTO, wellbeing/sick etc) Good flexibility with working from home and hours worked

Cons

Company is now driven by stock growth rather than people. "Do more with less" attitude Mediocre pay Big regional discrepancies not only in pay but benefits Might as well call it an American company now, lost all its soul

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.
