Pros

The CX team are the best. Supportive, caring, talented, and always willing to help each other.

Cons

Lack of respect and recognition for the CX team despite the amount of work and emotional labour involved. Limited career progression opportunities outside of support pathways. Flexibility could be improved, especially given the intensity of the workload and shift structure. Heavy KPI focus makes it difficult to balance fast case closes with empathetic, tailored customer support. Can feel like customer quality and employee wellbeing are secondary to productivity metrics.

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.
