Pros

Great downtown Denver location, regular lunches/breakfasts. The kiwi/NZ employees are amazingly kind, genuine, and down to earth. They make the experience worth 3 stars.

Cons

The politics in the Denver office are insane. If the Americas leadership recognizes you as in their clique, you're fine. It's very much like high school where you've got the common jocks, nerds, etc. The leaders who get elevated play this game and really try to "fit in" with the cool kids. Awful and disingenuous environment.

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.
