      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

      Nice stable environment to work,

      Cons

      Poorly performing management seem to just cluster around each other and never move on to other roles for fear of being found out.

      incompetent Managers

      Pros

      I couldn't, after scratching my head for 2 hours, think of any positives this company had on my career development.

      Cons

      Everything an aspiring recent graduate wants is missing in this company. My managers had no idea on the software I was working on, I could tell them anything and they would sit there nodding like idiots. They wasted money and time on things which weren't necessary, and alienated the experienced staff who had been with National Grid wireless and NTL broadcast ( before the merger and acquisition of these companies which resulted in the new company Arqiva). Their aim to "streamline" and micromanage the development of the software without knowing anything about the software caused problems between management and staff. This company should be avoided if you are young and looking to work on the cutting edge of computing/IT technology; when I left they were still using Windows XP. I left after 6 months, by which time I still had no dedicated development computer.
