Pros

Work from home Pays pretty well considering STI package

Cons

Toxic culture No support for career growth or development Favouritism and bullying Self-serving management - will take credit for your work and provide zero recognition or progression Micromanagement and controlling leadership Seems evident across most of marketing and probably other areas of the business too. Constant restructuring and no job security Burn and churn culture - you will need to take 6 months off after leaving this company to recover

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.
