Pros

Colleagues at individual contributor levels are nice. Some parts of Xero are more modern and nice to work in.

Cons

But, Mgmt has messed up the company culture. The constant restructuring is taking a toll on people and culture. They also have the right approach from a product side in terms of not being focused on too many adjacencies but keep changing direction often.

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.
