Pros

Xero has a great office ambience, and catered breakfast/lunch two days a week. Upper management is also easily reached via email if needed.

Cons

Middle management within the organization have no leadership training, which is shown by their micromanaging, adolescent management style, and unfair treatment/favoritism.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Xero. We are proud of our beautiful work spaces, and creating an environment that employees want to come into every day. We agree we could do more to support managers and are currently investing a lot more in this area. We also encourage employees to talk with the People Experience team if there are ever any signs of unfair treatment/favoritism, or any behaviors that don’t align with our values. We are here to support employees and managers create a collaborative environment in which everyone thrives. -Julie

Pros

-peers are friendly, intelligent and creative individuals -small perks are nice- free breakfast, lunch once a week, beers in the office, casual dress -sales team has a great comeraderie among the low-levels

Cons

-US sales management is turning the company into Intuit- motivates based on fear and threats, never answers emails or meeting requests, -headed toward a more big-time corporate machine-like sales vision -recently CUT commissions and annual base salary pay raises did NOT even meet cost of living increase for Denver area-but management is in SanFrancisco so they think it's fine

Thank you for your feedback and giving credit where you feel we do well and suggesting areas where you think we can do better. Xero is scaling fast in the US and investing in our sales process is part of our strategy for success. As we grow we will continue to professionalize our processes and management but we will not compromise on the unique Xero culture underpinned by our values - #Beautiful, #Challenge,#Champion, #Ownership, #Human. While not for the faint of heart, we do offer an environment where talent, passion and hard work reaps success and is celebrated and rewarded accordingly.
