Hypocritical company values at Xero - Education Specialist Xero Employee Review

Education specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, smart coworkers, great location

Cons

Lot's of cheerleading about how important Xero's employees are to the company, but unfortunately actions speak louder than words. Management can't seem to decide on a vision to execute. There are constant restructures and layoffs- not due to lack of performance, but as a result of indecision by management. Makes for a hostile and unstable work environment.

Xero Response

Thank you so much for your feedback. At Xero Americas, we are continually sensing market conditions and making the necessary pivots to better serve more partners and customers. Like a sailboat adjusting its course based on wind conditions, weather, and the currents, our strategy and structures will continue to evolve. For us this requires agility and resilience - and we try to approach each change with clarity, compassion, and a sense of adventure. -Julie (Director of People Operations)

Pros

Remote work is still an option, when many companies are going back to in person.

Cons

Leaders don't care about their employees. Managers are allowed to game the system for annual reviews to give their teams the raises and bonuses they want, regardless of actual staff performance. Everything must be AI, regardless of what customers want or need. Focus is on building shiny new toys instead of fixing core accounting system issues, and what's shiny changes every few months.
