Pros

Nice offices, people are generally good and some talented people.

Cons

management don't know what they are doing. Product teams in australia are a shambles. People in head office in new zealand seem to have it together except that c-level is a not around at all. Regions are a bit of a joke. no real structure and you have to be in the ceo's favourite group to be seriously considered for any career progression.

Hey there, thanks for your feedback and totally agree with you about the offices and the awesome people we at Xero. I am sorry though to hear about some of the challenges you are experiencing at the moment. It’s really important to us that our people understand our structure and strategy, as well as feel supported and able to thrive in their role within Xero. I encourage you to chat further about this with your Manager or anyone of us in the PX team. Alternatively you can put your thoughts, feedback and ideas forward through Officevibe, so we can work to address these concerns.

Pros

Smart devs and regular training opportunities means you are always learning. You can take a lot of ownership of your work and drive Xero in a direction that makes sense to you. If you like a challenge, this is the place for you! Lots of opportunity to work on green-fields projects and legacy systems alike.

Cons

Regions are isolated, little collaboration across biz domains and no visibility for the candidate in the hiring process (can take a long time!)
