Pros

Some genuinely decent people in the team trying to make the best of a difficult environment. Salary and benefits are standard for the industry.

Cons

The culture varies wildly depending on your manager – unfortunately, certain individuals in leadership foster a micromanagement-heavy environment that borders on controlling. Constructive feedback is often replaced with sarcasm and dismissiveness, creating a fear-based vibe rather than one of support and development. Mistakes are treated like character flaws, not learning opportunities. “Wellbeing” is used more as a buzzword than something actually respected. A lot of performative support, but when you actually need space, trust, or autonomy… it disappears.

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.
