Your peers will be lovely. If you are just starting your career, there is tons of mentorship with lots of room to make and correct mistakes.
I am BiPOC and saw a lot of people get passed over for advancement and forced out early. If you are an SDE I trying for an SDE II, then I would say it is fine, but after that, I would try to find employment elsewhere. HQ is not the place for your career to grow.
I would just take out all pretense of valuing diversity (In this political climate you don't have to anyway.)
It is cruel to hire people specifically to fill quotas. If you don't think they will be good engineers or you don't think you have the capacity in coaching them into being good engineers, then just forget it.
