A company going through rapid but painful change.

Pros

Excellent working environment; Growing business; Good work life balance; Remnants of a superior "Can Do" culture still exist.

Cons

Xero once had a passionate, "roll your sleeves up and do it" culture. They were able to do fantastic work with a small and highly dedicated staff. It used to be a privilege just to be hired by Xero. However, due to a policy of "cherry picking" executives from other organisations and generally hiring at a forced rate, Xero has imported a very political corporate environment. Now, big teams with budget can't do what 2 people and a shoestring used to do. Just another faceless corporate.

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.

Pros

Great environment within a successful company, being involved in the latest technologies and agile team,s with plenty of scope to have a say and make a difference. Management also listen to what employees say and strive to keep people happy.

Cons

It is a fast-paced and fast-growing, technology-focused and agile environment which requires people to generally be self-sufficient and speak up within a team - maybe not as structured as large organisations for instance, which may not suit everyone.
