      Pros

      Expect to work with the most dedicated and intelligent people you've ever met. Opinions are considered and not ignored. Code reviews are thoughtful and respectful, and discussions are plain, open, and honest. The work that I do has a purpose. Every day I know not just what I'm working on, but I have a clear vision on how that will help our customers. Once we ship, I can watch the impact in real time and then work to address the next topic. Get ready to work in an international office! Hangouts with counterparts in UK, AU, NZ or other parts of the US is common. Also be ready to think about (and solve!) problems on a global level. I've been in the software industry for 15+ years - and can honestly say that this is one of the best environments I've ever worked in; but don't take my word for it, come apply and meet us yourself!

      Cons

      Personally - I don't have any. Well.. hold on. I realize that sounds fishy.. so here goes: Someone keeps ordering plain oatmeal for the snack cabinet . No one likes plain oatmeal!

      Pros

      Culture, pay, flexibility, growth, environment, unicorn kisses. This place is unique and lovely. Filled with smart people working on a cool product suite. Working with happy customers makes a huge difference to the way I feel about work! Supportive, collaborative and no b.s. This is what every workplace should be like. I heart Xero.

      Cons

      Benefits could be better but I think that has more to do with our government than this company.

      Tiny company up against a big goliath and poised to LOSE

      Pros

      The people are awesome and creative and fun and the office culture is great and collaborative.

      Cons

      They don't know how to run a sales and marketing organization or how to compete against their HUGE competitors in the US. They spend money on STUPID stuff when every red cent should be on marketing. They hire way too many leaders and not enough workers. They make promises to get people on board, when they never intended to follow through with them. They tell you that they want to help your career but then if you express wanting to move up, you are first on the chopping block to get the axe.
