      It had great culture, not anymore

      Head of engineering

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great and smart people, Especially ICs and middle managers.

      Cons

      Have changed a lot recently, Xero's values are lost, especially in Senior Leadership. It used to have a great culture but with all the layoffs that's quickly gone.

      Fall from grace

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Culture has been declining over 4 years, but was very good to begin with so is still ahead of the curve on balance. Lots of excellent engineers remain despite the comprehensive failure of HR and management.

      Cons

      Completely lost their way technically, brought in non technical management, and turned into a happy joy fest echo chamber. Cringe worthy. Was one of the best employers in NZ but rapidly declined through arrogance of management and failure to appreciate engineering talent. After huge investment in grads, complete failure to appreciate their contributions led to becoming a development farm where other NZ business reaped the rewards of our labour. Rod always said he wanted it to be the last place we'd ever work, and that was legitimately tenable, but the subsequent decline destroyed this.
