Pros

*Good benefits (you'll be made to feel lucky you get them though) *You get company shares (crumbs for support) *Every other department is treated well if your one of the lucky few who get hired into another department *Company is in a good position with steady growth

Cons

*Customer support is pretty much treated like a cost center in Xero, you will be micromanaged at all times to ensure they are getting as much work out of you as possible, the quality comes second. *Very toxic work culture within support, it's set up so staff are in competition with each other, competing for tickets and numbers. * You'll be held to account by "data" which is manipulated regularly to go against the worker, management tactic to keep you on your toes I guess. *Work is mind-numbing, they ask you to stick with preset replies and "company voice" so you're day consists of copy and paste mostly If you're looking to join a support team in the tech space in order to further your career or to actually be appreciated and involved then give this a miss. For people still working in support in Xero, use the experience to move to another company, despite what you might have been told, this is not how other tech companies run their support teams

Pros

The team is super smart and everyone knows their stuff well. If you see an opportunity, you can take it and do it. Flat structure, less authority means you can experiment and do as much as you want.

Cons

There's not much of an onboarding, so you have to figure things out. It can feel very sink or swim. Also, you have to work across many different time zones as well, because the team is global. Also, people have very short fuses if you don't pick things up quickly or not as smart as them.
