Pros

Fantastic Employer, Awesome Team. Working with a great bunch of people, who are all very supportive while I am in the early stages of my career. Great office space with a great culture.

Cons

Pay in Wellington. Actually the pay is fine, Wellington is just incredibly expensive. 50,000 a year means living with the parents, or having less expendable income than I did as a student. And Xero pays monthly, which is horrible.

Pros

Xero has a great product and a lot of very passionate employees who work very hard for their customers.

Cons

The executive leadership at Xero is creating a toxic, backstabbing culture that promotes yes-men at the expense of honest dialogue. It's impossible to make decisions at the company, and multiple rounds of layoffs are leaving all employees shell shocked and fearful. Marketing teams are under-resourced while more demands are constantly being placed on teams to do more. When constraints are communicated, employees are blamed for them, rather that listened to. Multiple colleagues have said the same thing. Additionally, management has instituted a 'rank and yank' policy where everyone is graded on a forced curve, where the bottom quarter are immediately put on a PIP.
