Outstanding Company!

Pros

Aquilent is a fun place to work if you enjoy being with a company that grows every year, but retains the culture of a small company. Resource management is unlike any company I've ever been part of - if your project or role is ending, the proactive approach to placing you begins long before the end date.

Cons

Aggressive and consistent growth results in scaling pains, particularly from an infrastructure perspective. Things that worked for a 125 person company don't always work for a 400 person company (today) or a 700 person company.

Pros

Great benefits. Nice people. Like the CEO. A lot of people work here for a long time.

Cons

All repent on your managers. If you have good one who value you, you might do well here and get good raise etc.. otherwise they just assume you will stick around. I like the company but I did leave for better pay.

Pros

- overall, people you work with are professionals and experts in the filed - strong HR infrastructure; relatively good work/life balance; exciting staff events - decent benefits (insurance, PTO) - although you are hired as a consultant, the company is vested to keep you for multiple projects thus brings work stability (even when the contract ends)

Cons

Your experience will depend on the business group you are assigned to, so human factor makes a HUGE difference in your success. I have worked for multiple groups with polar management styles, business vision and client management. Many times, it felt like the group had no vision and ability to manage the client at all. It came down to billable hours and imitation of work vs. delivering quality work. Top it with managers with no management experience, personal dramas at work and plain gossip and you find yourself in consulting purgatory. If you are considering a position with Aquilent, read company reviews and do not dismiss the small things. They will get you later! Positions in Laurel differ greatly compared to projects @ government sites. Prepare yourself for lots of unnecessary and progress diminishing politics to get work done. Never again Aquilent!
