Pros

Great culture. Bi-weekly Lunches, snacks, latte machine, fruit delivery and the very fun Friday Happy Hour. People are genuinely kind and truly care about the brand.

Cons

At current time there is a lack of leadership. Xero is in the process of hiring several key individuals but this takes time to bring the right leaders onboard.

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.
