Pros

- great people - great PTO benefits - people manager is empathetic

Cons

- kept on changing company directions and is still going through re-org after the last layoff which is 1 year ago - little career mentorship for junior ICs to accelerate in their career, altho the leadership team is trying to foster the culture. It might take some time tho. - team has low moral after reorg and layoffs

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.
