Pros

- You can work remotely, kinda... - Nice offices usually, sometimes with a gym, but that depends on where you are based. - Good work-life balance, on paper. But in practice, again, it depends on a lot of factors. The shares keep going up in the long run.

Cons

- A lot of incompetence these days. And there's gonna be even more, now that quite a big slice of know-how is leaving the company. - You can't speak your mind. We used to make it a big thing at Xero: you could be open, honest, ... well, not anymore. People are scared of questioning leadership, I saw it with my own eyes, and felt the consequences on my own skin. - diversity and inclusion on paper. But then, diversity of opinion is not welcome (anymore).

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.
