Pros

I recently completed the interview process and am excited for my start date to come. I can honestly say that I've never been more excited to start a new job. It is clear that their philosophy is happy employees make great employees. I could see this in the people that I had interviewed with. They were interested in finding out who I am and what I have to offer, as opposed to how well I can answer obscure interview questions. Everyone I talked to built my excitement by the way they talked about the company and how much they enjoy working for Xero.

Cons

None that I'm aware of.
