People. Benefits. Well looked after by the company. Opportunities to work in exciting areas. Nice environment. Cambridge is good. Genuinely likely to contribute to technology improvements for the world.

Summer intern - software engineering

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of brilliant and friendly people. Great work environment, no stress, free coffee, nerf guns. Good internship projects. Tons of intern events throughout the summer. TONS of goodies. Good pay for an internship. Gym in the main building. Mail room to get parcels. Good canteen with lots of different things on the menu every day. It's not free though. ARM shuttle to go to work. Consoles in the kitchen.

Cons

I never had the opportunity to rate my manager and my colleagues, I wish there was a place to tell the direction how awesome all these people are. Everything is expensive in Cambridge. UK weather is bad. There is nothing to do in Cambridge. Internet speeds are not great. All of this has nothing to do with ARM, though...
