- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Friendly colleagues, good entry level salary, lots of perks & benefits like subsidised catering and headspace membership, activities, events and freebies. AQA handled the pandemic excellently considering how abruptly and unexpectedly the situation unfolded in the UK, immediately sent us all home and set out to have everyone set up to work from home and must have invested heavily to do so i.e. brand new laptops and IT equipment for most employees. Generous 2020 furlough scheme included keeping most non-essential staff on furlough, plus allowing furlough for *any* staff with homeschooling/childcare commitments. Expenses claims were allowed for office equipment for us to use at home, existing office equipment that I needed (e.g. chair) was couriered to me, in the new year staff were given a bonus payment. I love being able to work from home and have some flexibility there.
Cons
As with anywhere there has been some gossip and office politics, just need to be professional and use common sense when you see it
