Pros

Great, and I mean *fantastic* customers, which makes Xero. If you’re in the right team, collaboration and mutual respect is there and makes it a great, positive and productive working environment.

Cons

In my 2.5 years at Xero I saw a lot of structural change, which was always fine, because in the US we were trying (and they still are) to find footing in the market. But put a hold on layoffs, there are so many great people who were forced out... when they can’t performance review you out they make up something. It was sad to see such a negative change in working environment in the last year or so. The #human became a bunch of baloney and that’s sad, because for me at least, it was one of the best traits about Xero.

Xero Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective on working at Xero. Promotions represent great opportunities for people to learn new skills, and stretch themselves. Sometimes this learning process can be frustrating and it's an important part of the process. Any "layoffs" have been the unfortunate result of shifting our business strategy to match the needs of our customers. In every case, each person received generous support to make a smooth transition. That is one way we live our #human value in even the decisions we have to make are tough. -Julie (Director of People Operations)
