Pros

The interview process was thorough but really efficient. Within a short space of time, I met all the right people, from HR through to the Head of Department. You tend to wonder whether you’ll be a good fit, but Xceptor clearly puts in the effort to make sure it’s the right move for everyone involved. The Talent Acquisition team were also great. From the very first stage, I felt comfortable and supported, and it gave me a good sense of the kind of people I’d be working with. The perks and benefits are also a big plus. Coming from a company that expected full‑time office attendance, moving to a hybrid working model has made a real difference to my work–life balance.

Cons

The team I joined is made up of people who are all relatively new, including management and some execs. As you’d expect with a new team, there are a few teething issues while things settle and ways of working are still being figured out.

Pros

Hybrid working schedule available Teams are friendly and hard working Clear path for professional growth worked towards all year, not just discussed during review season. Building process and procedures from the ground up (also a con sometimes) In process of building internal systems and tools to support growth (also a con sometimes) Compensation is market competitive / average 401k options and match percentage Small internal teams Open to solutions / changes

Cons

Growing pains Undefined processes and procedures when working cross-functionally with internal teams In process of building internal systems and tools to support growth Lack of internal resources to support growth Subpar benefits/packages for US employees Small teams = heavy workloads / long hours

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and balanced feedback. We really appreciate your recognition of our collaborative culture, hybrid working approach, and the focus we place on continuous professional growth—not just during review cycles. It’s great to hear that our teams’ openness to new ideas, solutions, and cross-functional collaboration is resonating. We’re also glad you highlighted the opportunity to help build processes and systems from the ground up. While this can certainly present challenges at times, it’s an important part of supporting our long-term growth and creating scalable, sustainable ways of working. We acknowledge the growing pains that come with scaling—particularly around evolving processes, workloads within small teams, and the need for additional internal resources. These are areas we’re actively working on, including continued investment in systems, tools, and support structures to better enable our teams as we grow. Your suggestion around expanding junior support roles is especially valuable and aligns with ongoing conversations about capacity, development, and burnout prevention. Thank you as well for your advice to management. Maintaining our #OneTeam mindset and strong cross-functional alignment remains a priority, and feedback like this reinforces the importance of that focus. We appreciate your honesty and engagement, and we’re grateful for everyone who contributes their voice to helping us improve and grow together. Thank you for your commitment to Xceptor!
