Pros

Xero is the kind of company that, when you are willing to work hard, will always go the extra mile for you. I've had a few different situations, one of which was strictly personal, where Xero was willing to accomodate me and went out of their way to help me. I can approach an executive with an idea, and be listened to. Almost everyone at the company knows this is a team effort, just be respectful and people will help.

Cons

There isn't really much to say in terms of negatives. There is a little bit of the startup feel with the fast paced changes sometimes, but that's not really a negative, just good to know if you don't like that type of thing. The company isn't perfect, but I've worked for quite a few and this is about as close as it gets if you are respectful and work hard.

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.
