Pros
Aquila could be a good business but most of us who work here think it has been bled dry for too many years. Other devs here are mostly good to work with (especially the grads), except some of the 'architects' who are terrible but we’re told they are protected by the shareholders. The software could have been good but has a mountain of technical debt that nobody wants to look at properly.
Cons
It’s so laughingly obvious to all of us that all of the recent positive posts are written by the HR department - just look at how light on facts they are compared to any "real" reviews. Most of the other posts here are right that the blame culture is terrible and most of the 20yr plus dev staff are nice enough people but awful to work with and utterly clueless. Code systems are in the dark ages, no investment, no proper developer environments, terrible data security, no real penetration testing, the new infrastructure we need and were promised has been cancelled (because of cost?), the management team are at best impotent with an insecure CEO and it is the shareholder who is the real one in charge again. The last CEO who came in to change things resigned, the finance director resigned and the rest of the management are walking around like depressed ghosts and won’t answer any direct questions. I've had enough of being lied to and am looking for a new job. I’m certainly not the only one.
