The ad was inspiring and communication afterwards well thought out. However, after phone screening application ended in limbo for 2 months and HR did not respond to follow up enquiry. After 2 months, I received a generic rejection email with no clarification/apologies for the delay. While this is not uncommon for a lot of companies, I really expected Xero to do better and was quite negatively surprised. I suspect the salary expectations did not align, but there is just no way of knowing.

Initial contact with hiring manager followed by several group interviews. The process was a little drawn out by done well. Interviewers impressed with depth and range of questioning, they obviously take great care to protect their culture. Met quite a few people over the process and felt they were genuine and caring.
