Great Company and Culture - Software Engineer Motability Operations Employee Review

Just like anywhere else, if you stick around long enough, you start feeling like you're hitting a plateau, and your salary might reflect that too. It seems like there's a shift towards emphasizing culture and diversity, but it doesn't feel very welcoming unless you fall into the 'minority' category. There's also this move towards a stricter working culture, where those of us who can juggle multiple projects and shift contexts are now stuck on a single team. In short, there's less flexibility and cross-team collaboration, which used to be the cornerstone of how we've operated for the past 5 years. It feels like we're going back to the old-school ways of working from the 2000s. Opting for third-party tools to develop services instead of in-house coding, which would be both easier to support and program, appears to be a decision made without much consideration. This choice is likely to result in numerous issues down the line for a team like mine, which will bear the brunt of managing this system. Having to learn another system without significant benefits seems like an unnecessary and cumbersome task, resembling a lack of thoroughness.
