Xero Australia Reviews

At the completion of the grad year, we get promoted and a blanket salary increase. After that there are multiple promotion opportunities, in both IC and management pathway but this has slightly changed since the restructure. I have not yet enquired as to what it takes to move up the ranks beyond my grad year.

I really like that we get a day of volunteer leave to volunteer at a local community centre etc.

I am yet to meet a Xero employee that is not kind. All employees like lifting each other up and as a result it is an amazing place to learn and fins what kind of engineer you are. I have found a stack that I am very passionate about and I am enabled to pursue it.

I have attended multiple presentations on inclusion, diversity, accessibility and neurodivergence. I think Xero does a good job of promoting and demonstrating diversity in the workplace. I am aware that some women attempted to enquire about egg freezing however were told it's not currently an option which is a shame to hear.

I love doing software development. It is so satisfying seeing something come to life. Xero is great at involving grads in meaningful and exciting work.

On the whole, my managers have been smart, friendly, approachable, and excellent mentors. They're very communicative and highly value praise and feedback

Location is great - Hawthorn is quite central and accessible. The office space is awesome, it's got so many great spaces and different meeting rooms/vibes. The facilities are awesome, I love the towel service and the office gym, have used these a bunch. I also really like the barrista service - this is a game changer! Would love in house massages thought - I have heard other offices have this. The dress code is good, I like how it's casual and more focused on working well together, rather than looking good/corporate!

It was really interesting and enjoyable. The HR was very approachable. The assessments were well designed. Xero value, basic behaviour questions and some software engineering questions. Understand the company values and reflect on how these align (or don't) with your own values and the work that you want to do.

It is very generous for a new grad. All the offers I got were less money than this one. The 5 days of extra leave and free holiday leave. Also the discounted private health insurance. Also I enjoy having wellbeing leave instead of sick leave, which offers more flexibility and consideration to our health and well-being beyond being physically sick.

I have really enjoyed learning on the job and credit my buddies and other engineers who have taken the time to help me develop my skills.

Xero is very flexible when it comes to working hours.

We are carbon neutral
