Pros

Product is simple to understand People are friendly

Cons

You get bored after three months because your role is totally not challenging. A lot of people seem to be coasting looking for opportunities on the outside If you're ambitious, smart and learn quickly you'll burn through this place in a few months

Hi there Thank you for taking the time to place some feedback. We do aim to conduct exit interviews with all our departing employees so I am sorry to hear that we may have missed a couple. We have recently moved our exit interview process to manage these through workday so there is a chance they got stuck in the system (they are not compulsory, but we like to meet with everyone before they leave to get their thoughts and feedback). I have spoken with the team here and we are going to be extra vigilant with this moving forward. We want all our employees to enjoy their roles and feel suitably challenged.I would be happy to chat further with you on the points you have raised if you are open to that. Please drop me a line at linda.bateson@xero.com if you would like to set this up. Thanks

Pros

Great office space with amazing view

Cons

Forever changing leadership, I can't even count as many as have come and went. It's a JOKE!! The environment is extremely juvenile and toxic......if your part of the in group you will probably be fine but the minute your not, your gone and treated poorly. Pay is definitely under industry standard and bonus, what bonus? Extremely high turnover!!!

I'm glad you liked the office and I am sorry that your experience at Xero was less than positive. As a fast growing company we take feedback seriously and will make changes to improve our environment and people experience as necessary. Around 35% of hires come from internal referrals and we believe this is a positive endorsement of our values and culture. Our hiring process is rigorous involving people at different levels and requiring multiple layers of approval. We foster a performance driven culture with reward reflecting strong performance. We have introduced a continuous feedback tool and engagement tracking so we can understand what is working well and not so well and take immediate real time corrective action to ensure Xero stays a great place to work for our teams. We monitor any turnover and run exit surveys to ensure any issues are quickly identified and managed.
