Xero reviews

Easily one of the worst work cultures I experienced. Ever since the change in leadership, the environment became toxic. Micromanagement was at an all-time high, and flexibility was non-existent. You had to request leave months in advance, or it would be rejected. ​Worse, the culture shifted to force employees to constantly compete against their own colleagues. Middle management simply acted as puppets for upper leadership, completely ignoring the well-being of their teams. We were treated like robots based purely on performance metrics rather than people. Avoid Xero if you care about your mental health.

- Culture and morale and getting worse each year with constant changes which many feel are in the wrong direction - Pay rises are very difficult to get - Job security keeps getting worse. Architects were recently all made redundant, team lead roles were redefined and they had to reapply for their own job but with a different skill list, and they recently introduced a system where moderate performing employees are put on a performance improvement plan which can lead to termination if you don't pass. There's also hints off more to come in the next couple years, especially for NZ
