Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Xero full-time
Pros
Good perks trickle down from Wellington. Looks good on your CV. Cool office. Strong company performance.
Cons
Canberra management is unable to effectively manage projects. Terrible legacy code base with awful amounts of unnecessary complexity leading to a frustrating work environment. Lack of planning leads to a culture of frequent crunch and insane stress. Canberra is a satellite office where you are treated as a second class citizen in the organisation. Very few career opportunities within the Canberra office.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Xero full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
- salary is above market rate - smart people to work with - no hidden agendas - flexible agile / lean deliverables. - Nice perks - Initially felt like a startup culture with flat structure but now its turning into a traditional evil corp.
Cons
- Mediocre middle management who dont know anything technical and engineering, and even strategy - so what is their solution? Hire more people and let them decide what it will look like - Selective career growth - sometimes, its all up to luck - Too much customisation on internal tooling that there are heaps of people maintaining them (Building your own tools actually expensive - it costs extra overheads to maintain them)
