Pros

Great atmosphere - everyone is willing to help and keen to discuss issues / solutions to anything. Great internal team management with technical leads that have in depth experience and a lead fro the front style. Really flexible work bounds i.e. very flexible around start / finish times, dress code etc. without slipping on work standards

Cons

Growing very fast so can be hard to keep track of everyone and who does what. Teams often going through big changes in workflow / structure that can be a little disruptive but kid of exciting and new at the same time!

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.
