Pros

Some of the people working there are good people Free vending machine in some offices

Cons

Lots of people just playing politics and colleagues will go behind your back just so they can get ahead Management is out of touch with reality and there is rampant bullying from senior managers in certain areas including security Managers do not care about their staff and workloads Very little career progression anymore The culture has changed and is now very corporate like. Everything is about making more money and not focused on the people that create and maintain the business

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.
