Pros

Co-workers, HR team, ethical company, culture, benefits, track record of success. I was actually compelled to write a review because my experience has not at all reflected some of the other reviews on this site. The environment / culture may not for everyone. I find it very rewarding to work with such smart, driven and helpful people.

Cons

Need for better communication throughout the company

Pros

It is a great culture, with lots of fun activities. Your fellow colleagues can become close, and support each other. They have communities by functional area (e.g., Business Analysis area, t=Testing community, etc.). HR was supportive when I was first there. The projects were interesting. Benefits were great for such a small company (Approx. 300 employees). Good place to learn about web services and solutions.

Cons

If your manager didn't like you, they would do things behind your back to get you out of their project. If there was no other project, you were out of a job. Training was minimal. HR was always on the side of management, and never considered the employee staff as an asset. If you tried to move to another project within the company, you would need to re-prove yourself like a new employee.

Pros

Salary competitive when you start, profit sharing, nice facilities, interesting projects, pretty good flexibility, smart on-the-ground colleagues, lots of company social events, they work hard at trying to make a collection of self-contained teams feel like a cohesive company, IT department seems on-point.

Cons

Terrible front-line management. PMs are hired for their PMPs and then not supported in becoming good bosses- your PM has control of your career with the company, and can even kill your attempts to transfer to another project (one of Forbes magazine's signs of a bad place to work!), but upper management and HR just shrug as PMs flail around trying to manage a team, screwing up team dynamics, firing good people, and just generally making otherwise motivated employees miserable. Problematic, temperamental, difficult PMs are an open secret at Aquilent. And while that's going on, upper management is busy trying to require staff to take on additional, non-billable biz dev work on their own time.
