Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We're really pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with our recruitment process and induction day - it’s something we’ve worked hard to make engaging and informative, so it’s great to know it landed well. And we couldn’t agree more about our people, Arqiva is full of fantastic, dedicated people so it’s great to see this being acknowledged. We appreciate your feedback about brand awareness, it’s something we’re actively working on. Your suggestion of a tourist centre is an innovative idea - while we’d love to offer more public access, unfortunately, due to security and health and safety considerations, it’s not something we’re able to pursue at this time. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and ideas, we’re glad to have you as part of the team. If you have any further feedback, please reach out to talent@arqiva.com.

Pros

Harder by each reorg to say, would have said the people, but they keep on making them redundant.

Cons

Company lacks a growth strategy. The strategy seems to maintain the bottom line at all costs, sweat the assets, reduce the wage bill and keep pushing legacy solutions. There is a lack of investment in growth areas with technical debt spiralling and sucking in the remaining people, so no time for innovation. Unfortunately a business in decline.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that your experience has felt this way. We recognise that change can be challenging - these changes are driven by the need to adapt to rapidly shifting markets and technologies, and to ensure the business remains sustainable for the long term. We understand the impact this can have on colleagues and appreciate this is a challenging time. Open communication is important to us during periods of change. We continue to hold Executive Committee Q&A’s and All Hands sessions, actively encouraging colleagues to share feedback, questions and ideas through these forums or directly with line managers. We also continue to invest significantly in our platforms, systems and new technologies, and we have a number of new products and services in development that are already receiving encouraging customer feedback. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and will continue to reflect on your feedback.
