Pros

Great work environment in SF and the PX/HR team really tries hard to make it a fun place to work.

Cons

Managers are untrained and don’t know how to really motivate and support their teams. The SF office also feels more like a satellite office and needs to feel important. Employee goals are pretty non-existent and don’t tie to overall company goals so your job can feel disconnected to what’s important at HQ. Middle management is not inspiring and their attempts to motivate can sometimes feel fake. So much turnover happened in SF in 2017, which really impacted morale.

Thank you for your candid review of your experience working at Xero. As we continue to grow in the Americas, the San Francisco office remains an integral part of our US team, but we understand your concerns. We’re doing a lot in 2018 to boost culture, as well as our manager training in all US offices. We think this will have a positive impact on morale in the SF office! -Julie (Director of People Operations)
