Pleasant people, but a tangle of internal issues

Pros

Line managers are thoughtful and compassionate, and emphasise work-life balance. A good level of respect for employee independence. Development teams genuinely care about team success and helping each other out. Very little rivalry or office politics to worry about at team level. Anyone in the department will pause or book in an opportunity to help if someone is struggling. A feeling of "we'll do anything for our clients", and code quality is well enforced in new code with multiple human reviewers and high automated testing coverage requirements. No shortage of ways to communicate with senior people in the company. Comprehensive, history-disregarded private healthcare coverage is a somewhat unusual benefit for the UK and is extremely well received.

Cons

Most recent CEO has been partially eroding the hybrid working benefits, and was dismissive and blunt about the changes. Senior management requests plenty of feedback on all kinds of topics, but that feedback tends to vanish into action groups and ongoing discussions. It feels like they're genuinely trying but there's not much real impact. Legacy codebase is challenging to work with, being the amassed culmination of a vast number of contributions from well over a decade. Technical debt in general is very high: client bugs are dealt with promptly, but less critical oddities, internal annoyances, build warnings, and other such daily frustrations are accepted as just being too low priority to resolve. This doesn't seem sustainable. Development career progression is not smooth. New senior roles have been created but moving into them is very binary. Annual review outcomes are crucial to progression, and it is very hard to meaningfully advance outside that window.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review, and thank you for your service to Xceptor. We’re delighted to hear that you’ve experienced a supportive and collaborative environment within our development teams, and that our emphasis on work-life balance, code quality, and healthcare benefits resonates positively. We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding hybrid working, legacy code challenges, and career progression. These are important areas, and while we may not always get things right immediately, we are committed to listening, learning, and improving. Whilst we have no plans to remove our hybrid working arrangements, your advice to focus more on refining our existing codebase and trusting teams with their resources is well taken and aligns with ongoing internal discussions.
