Great company with a strong product and great culture. The kiwi leadership team are down to earth, hardworking, and fun. Xero is growing like weeds and there's opportunity everywhere. Pay is great, benefits are good, and the facilities are top notch.

Not much of a "con" but we use the google suite of products which can prove challenging when communicating with overseas colleagues.

Pros

Great culture. Bi-weekly Lunches, snacks, latte machine, fruit delivery and the very fun Friday Happy Hour. People are genuinely kind and truly care about the brand.

Cons

At current time there is a lack of leadership. Xero is in the process of hiring several key individuals but this takes time to bring the right leaders onboard.
