      Pros

      There is a very open culture with limited of hierarchy. The "Lunch and Learn" sessions are varied and at least some of them will be thought-provoking regardless of your interests. All backed up and filed for you tp pursue your own interests.

      Cons

      Be prepared to work across silos. There are still some and wariness of ideas from elsewhere.

      Thanks for leaving a review! I love attending the "Lunch and Learn" sessions as well, and I'm not an engineer :) We pride ourselves on having an open culture, which can sometimes lead to helping across silos like you stated. With the new AFDS logbook in place, the goal is to make the complete assessment/review process transparent, while new D&I initiatives should help improve innovation coming from all parties. We do hope that you consider working for ARM again in the future! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

      Still good, but not as good as it once was

      Pros

      Work with some very clever, interesting and nice people globally. Pockets of greatness. If you are in the right division or team, then there are opportunities to do interesting work, with plenty of freedom/leeway to define own role and organise how you get on and do the work. . Generally a relaxed working atmosphere. Good social events. It still feels like they are trying hard look after us. Not irredeemable, still lots of us trying to make things better and stop the slide.

      Cons

      It may just be me, but it does feels like we are in danger of losing what made the company great ... I think that what is happening, is that as the company is growing, the effective influence of those who make and sell the products is being watered down by the tertiary functions. I think another contributory factor might be because our CEO seems to have located himself away from where most of his engineering is happening. Regardless of why, the net effect is that it feels to me and other long term engineers, that we are not focusing on the product or the mission enough. Instead we seem to be spending increasing amounts of resources on corporate logo's, policies and programs, and not enough on things that might make a difference, e.g. engineers and engineering infrastructure.

      Pros

      There is a lot of very interesting work happening here. The compensation is decent, and Cambridge allows a good lifestyle.

      Cons

      The company is growing, but still rather small. While decent, the compensation feels weak compared to other international opportunities.
