Thank you for your feedback; it’s valuable as we continue to evolve our culture and employee experience. And thank you for being part of Xceptor over the past few years. It’s great to hear that you’ve found the team to be driven and motivated. We’re proud of the energy and ambition across the business, and it’s encouraging to know that this environment helps challenge people to perform at their best. We recognise that a performance‑driven environment won’t suit everyone, and we aim to be transparent about that. At the same time, we want to ensure that our culture balances high performance with collaboration, support, and inclusivity, so that people can succeed in a way that works for them.

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.

It’s great to hear that you found the interview process both thorough and efficient, and that you had the opportunity to meet a range of people across the business.

We also really appreciate your constructive feedback. As you’ve highlighted, when teams grow quickly and bring in new people, there can naturally be a period of adjustment. We’re actively working on strengthening structure, clarifying priorities, and building consistent ways of working to support our teams as they scale.

Pros

Standard office amenities (coffee, refreshments, etc.) are provided. Some teams are made up of capable and hardworking individuals despite broader challenges.

Cons

The culture can feel consistently high-pressure and, at times, unsustainable, which may impact wellbeing over time. Leadership often operates reactively and in the short term, with teams spending significant time firefighting rather than delivering long-term value. There is a recurring gap between planning and execution, with shifting priorities and missed expectations. Organisational changes and restructuring can create ongoing uncertainty and affect morale. The company has faced challenges in consistently meeting targets, leading to increased pressure and instability. Employee turnover is high, particularly among experienced staff, with many moving to more stable environments. Support structures, such as HR, may not always provide the support employees expect in difficult situations. Overall, this may not be the right environment for those seeking stability, strong leadership, and a supportive culture.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and for your contributions over the past five years. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience has left you feeling this way. Feedback from all colleagues matters, and we want to make sure you can discuss any concerns directly with us. If you feel comfortable, please reach out to any member of the ELT, or alternatively the People & Culture team, so we can listen and try to understand your perspective. Over the past few years, it’s no secret that we’ve gone through significant positive change as we’ve matured as a business. We now have a clearer long term strategy and a stronger sense of direction, and we’re working hard to create an environment that we’re all proud to be part of. Recent investments - such as the improvements to our Guildford office and expanding product and technology teams from both a resource and tooling perspective - are part of that ongoing effort to ensure our teams feel supported and valued. We also recognise that our industry is evolving rapidly, particularly with the opportunities AI is creating across both our software and our development processes. We’re moving at pace to embrace these opportunities, and we’re focused on building a culture where people who are energised by innovation and fast moving environments can thrive and help shape what comes next. We hope you’ll consider speaking with us directly. Open conversations help us continue to improve, support our people, and build the kind of company we all want to be part of.
