Pros

The company is chock full with super-bright people who are heavily committed to the success of the company. That shoes on a day-to-day basis with how easy it is to affect change when there's a customer knocking at the door, but is balanced by a good strategic view. ARM feels like a place where important things are happening and the company certainly punches above its weight with a huge proportion of the electronics industry relying on what we do.

Cons

The pace is relentless, but somewhat tempered by quite an academic consensus culture. Many new people find this balance very difficult to get used to.

Pros

ARM rewards innovation and hard work, and as a company they strive to encourage a good work and life balance. Their is ample opportunity to grow and achieve great things, but you need to be driven and focussed on getting there. The place is chocked full of interesting, quirky, smart people who reflect the sort of technological problems ARM is solving on a daily basis.

Cons

Rapid growth in the past few years have made the workplace a tad crowded in the UK but plans are afoot for new office spaces which look phenomenal.
