Pros

Great people, friendly atmosphere, casual relaxed environment, cool offices, Friday night inter-office get-togethers, frequent trips to head office, implement ideas quickly, there are no stupid questions.

Cons

Can't really think of any so far. Car parks are a bit of an issue but hey-ho you can't win everything.

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.
