Pros

Great atmosphere - everyone is willing to help and keen to discuss issues / solutions to anything. Great internal team management with technical leads that have in depth experience and a lead fro the front style. Really flexible work bounds i.e. very flexible around start / finish times, dress code etc. without slipping on work standards

Cons

Growing very fast so can be hard to keep track of everyone and who does what. Teams often going through big changes in workflow / structure that can be a little disruptive but kid of exciting and new at the same time!

Pros

• Fun, talented, smart coworkers • Good compensations, perks, decent benefits • "New Zealand culture" open, value focused, Friday afternoon happy-hours... • Company invests a lot of time and money into making the development process run smoothly • Awesome office spaces and views of the bay • Good mix of fast-paced self-directed teams, but with the support and backing of a larger more stable company. "Start-up like environment, with a big bankroll"

Cons

• Less Kiwis and Aussies around the office than there use to be • No holiday bonuses / stock bonuses vest slowly • Still some heavily handed policies from overseas HQ

Pros

Xero is one of the few New Zealand companies where you get genuine exposure to other markets, which is a great experience as well as paving the way for international careers. There are always opportunities advertised for career progression, very facilitating to people who want to travel and work. There are a lot of great people that work here and there is still the culture of flat structure where senior people are more than happy to spend time to help others learn and grow. Great modern offices, also a worldwide share scheme which ties employees to the vision of the company, genuine sense of ownership around the organisation. Exciting to see what is still to come.

Cons

Growing at an unsustainable rate, deteriorating culture and often at the expense of exceptional employees. Bit of uncertainty on recent senior management changes.
