Pros

Great culture - operates like a family with a very friendly and very open atmosphere and great diversity across the board. Xero is also extremely transparent from top to bottom. The company is growing but you never feel like you're working for a big corporate. The company has a huge opportunity and you can feel it when you're working there.

Cons

Very little actually. There are growing pains with such rapid growth, however that is getting better because the company understands that controlling growth is important.

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.
