Pros

I love the diverse mix of people, it makes for an interesting and fun environment. We have a great work space that is open and really collaborative. People are very genuine and supportive of one another. There is a real opportunity to get involved and do interesting and fulfilling work - that's very important to me. I feel aligned with our values and I appreciate that we are asked for feedback and things change as a result - management does listen.

Cons

We are growing fast and that comes with some challenges - our needs for what people we need in roles can change quite quickly or we move forward fast without always thinking through all aspects of an action and then have to take corrective action.

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.
