My last job had a pretty diverse team. The issue that I had with it was the change in the corporate culture from one of focusing on 'teams' to focusing on only certain teams. The color of your skin or your sexual orientation were far more important than the work you were doing.

Yeah, it was sad watching the decline of meetings generally being about tech discussions and business direction to 1/8th of all total department discussions being diversity and inclusion. My entire 100+ person project had less department discussion than all of the PC/ diversity initiatives. My final straw was when they implemented new hiring practices where 50% of new hires needed to be female and 25% needed to be "under represented minorities".
Mind you this was for extremely specialized engineering roles where in 12+ years I maybe worked with 3 women total. They started hiring these women who didn't even know the programming language we used and knew nothing about game development. It was a fucking joke.
