Fast paced constantly changing environment gives you the opportunity to grow rapidly as a professional and get lots of experience. If you put your head down and work hard there's a nice career path in sales.
Cons
As in any fast-paced high-growth environment, there are lots of changes and turnover happens. This can create emotional lows and take a toll on culture, but it always goes back to normal in no time.

Thanks for taking the time to feedback! It's great to hear that there is a nice career path in sales, and that's proving true. I hear you, change and the pace of change here can be fast and our focus is ensuring everyone not only understand what is changing but why we are changing and how that links to our plan and strategy. Again thanks for the feedback - Andy
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.
