overall casual to business casual depending on the team and position

Kiss the right rear ends and don’t question anything, ever. Oh, and throw as many bad deals at the wall to see what sticks...it’s the only way to keep your gig. Management refuses to acknowledge that the US competitive landscape in their niche is very different from the ANZ region 10 years ago. Their latest strategy is a “practice tools/practice platform” approach - the catch is the tools have major deficiencies for the US market as they were designed for the workflows and regulatory environment in ANZ. Don’t question that - sell it and move on. Who cares about your own personal integrity or professional reputation, right? That’s pretty much it. Fall in line or move on.

Perfect. I can take care of personal issues during the day without any issues.

I was employed in 2010 I don't recall the specific questions but unlikely to relate to marketing as I was employed in a completely different role.

Professional clothing.

Tell me about a time you've handled feedback and how did you apply this?

Great work culture, flexible work hours, peer to peer real awesome human interactions and a nice vibe overall.

Very helpful

Most of our success is measured from the impact we have in driving additional business. This comes in a variety of forms, whether as new business leads, growth with existing business through a campaign, or a combination of the two (end-to-end sales funnel improvements). There are also some branding metrics we look to follow to show how visible we're becoming in the US, specifically in cities where we have a sales presence vs. those we currently do not.

I would encourage people to get out of their comfort zones and take the initiative on culture bonding experiences.

Not that difficult. Xero values work like balance and self care.

People who work hard

Feedback is given frequently in ongoing conversations between manager and employee

Great bonding opportunities.

Xero values diversity and you can see it in our offices.

I was prepped well in the interview process, so no real surprises.
