- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Good culture, equal opportunity employer - Truly care about employee wellbeing - Cool new office in Melbourne
Cons
- Too many meetings to just give status updates. So much overhead and micromanagement. - Major decisions seem to be led by product marketing rather than product experts. - Too much toxic positivity and virtue signalling - EGM layer of management are your typical, toxic, white, male clique just waiting to retire and not contributing, innovating or helping - Culture is disappearing as the company grows - Hardly any career growth opportunities and promotion process is not transparent. Seems Xero is a 'who you know, not what you know' kind of company. - Have seen some bullying at Xero that seems to go on without intervention. Wellbeing and care is good but only to a point. Some people seem too important to reprimand.

- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Remote and flexible working arrangements Gifted holiday leave during xmas Depending on the team, an amazing culture of fostering junior talent. Strong technical leadership. Decisions are not product focused and the mantra of 'slowing down to speed up' keeps technical requirements in balance with customer needs
Cons
Forced leave during shutdown period, can be difficult for people who want to time there leave strategically with SO Seemingly increased layers of technical debt, lack of leadership for juniors in some instances (due to misguided or untrained senior developers) Depending on the team juniors will have lack of things to do or have lack of structure to guide there technical progression and soft skill progression. Some portfolios have issues of establishing clear lines of ownership over domains. Pay is not that great
