Pros

- Flexible hybrid working - work from home as much or as little as you like - Health insurance is amazing

Cons

- Huge corporate culture shift has rendered Xero unrecognisable from the workplace it was ~3 years ago - Employee experience can range from okay to horrific depending on what team you’re in (massive domain favouritism) - There has been huge amounts of silent firing over the last 2 years, as well as “sabotaging” great engineers with a PIP and terrible performance reviews if costs need to be cut. Have seen firsthand that managers will doctor and remove evidence from your performance review to make you look worse - Pay is lower than ever - Company is leaner than ever - I’ve been in a few teams now and all of them are incredibly stretched for capacity. And they’re always looking to cut more. Not sustainable. If you’re an engineer, expect to be on call at least every 3 weeks because the rosters are too small
