The support that you receive as a grad is absolutely amazing!
The company is super flexible when it comes to work hours.
Xero is completely flexible when it comes to working in the office or from home.
We have an extra 5 days off which is amazing! We also have free health insurance.
The entire Grad program is done incredibly well, in terms of both technical skills and acclimating to Xero work environment.
Doesn't seem to be consistency between rotation teams (experience and standards in one team vary wildly from another).

There has been action on this, and more initiatives are planned for, but there are still issues not being attended to yet.
Would be nice if more options/flexibilities could be given when deciding which team graduates could go into for the next rotation.
