Pros

Exciting product which means that you are working on something revolutionizing the accounting software market. Some really helpful and supportive people.

Cons

Company values aren't actually lived by. Struggle to see how the company will ever make a profit. To solve a problem just hire lots of people, not the right ones. Need a better management team with clear and realistic goals willing to listen to staff and need to work together. Very young employees so no other experience and don't question anything. No career growth.

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.
