What do you enjoy most about working at Aquarius?

The strong sense of teamwork and shared ownership. Everyone genuinely supports one another, and it feels like the whole team is working together towards the best possible outcome. As a smaller organisation, there are real opportunities to develop quickly, have your voice heard and play an influential role in both internal discussions and project work. You also feel that contributions at every level are valued. No one asks others to do something they wouldn’t do themselves, there’s a real sense of equality and mutual respect.

How would you describe the company culture in three words?

Ambitious, curious and built on a strong growth mindset. We set high standards for the work we do and the clients we partner with, always aiming for high quality and impact. There’s a real emphasis on asking questions, exploring issues from different angles, digging deeper rather than taking things at face value. At the same time, there’s a shared commitment to growth, both as a company and as individuals. People are committed to learning and developing their skills and perspectives.

What’s 1 word or a number of words or phrases that sums up the vibe in the office?

The vibe in the Aquarius office is friendly, collaborative and comfortably relaxed. It’s a casual environment where people feel at ease, and where working with colleagues across different levels and teams feels natural and informal. There’s no sense of formality, just a supportive atmosphere that makes it easy to focus, connect and get things done.

There’s also a strong social side, from shared breakfasts to celebrations like Thanksgiving and Chinese New Year, small things that create a warm, connected team environment. The office itself is thoughtfully designed and a pleasant place to work, which adds to the overall positive feel.

What’s something small that happens here that makes a big difference to you?

One small thing that really makes a big difference is the simple act of providing breakfast in the office. Starting the day with a shared breakfast is something everyone can enjoy. It’s thoughtful, welcoming and something we genuinely appreciate. It’s a small gesture that shows the company cares about setting people up well for the day.

What advice would you give to someone considering joining the team?

Come in with an open and flexible mindset and be ready to try new things. You’ll be exposed to a wide variety of projects, tasks and ways of working, often things you may not have experienced before. That can feel a little overwhelming at first, but you’ll be fully supported.

The culture here is incredibly collaborative and supportive, especially in those first few months. You’re encouraged to get stuck in, learn as you go and stretch yourself, all while knowing you’re never doing it alone. If you’re open to learning, ready to grow and willing to embrace new challenges, you’ll thrive at Aquarius.
