      Pros

      - Intellectually stimulating and enjoyable work, with directly visible impact on the CPUs Arm produces. - Friendly culture, others are very willing to help - happy office culture. - Management pretty 'ad-hoc' - accommodating with things as long as you reach an agreement with your line manager - Often flexible with working times, as long as you attend all important meetings and do on average 7.5h a day. - Mature organization - lots of capacity for you to genuinely feel supported. - Can work up to 60% of time remotely (+ up to 1 month from abroad), and everyone spending >40% of time in office means off-the-cuff conversations still happen and you have company. - 25 days holiday, options for unpaid leave (<5 days no questions asked, more can be negotiated), supportive of circumstances requiring non-holiday paid leave (parental, progressive, bereavement etc.) - Opportunities for training, secondments, rotations (as a graduate engineer) - You learn and develop valuable experience. - I'm pretty happy here!

      Cons

      - Office is on the edge of Cambridge next to a field and far from the 'city', nearest useful amenity is a Tesco hypermarket 15 minutes away, you won't be going out for lunch. - The Arm campus does have a gym/cafeteria, useful but can mean you spend a lot of time at your 'workplace' (pretty minor gripe though). - Finding affordable accommodation in Cambridge is a serious challenge (incredibly so as a new starter/intern) - expensive and in short supply. No paid overtime - overtime not encouraged but not always culturally discouraged either, but so long as you're strict with yourself about your work hours it's a non-issue. - Top management is becoming more 'USA corporate' but still pretty good, current CEO has been with Arm for ~10y and has an engineering background

      Pros

      Relaxed environment Good work-life balance

      Cons

      Very slow paced and everything has to go through 100 layers of management The attempted nvidia acqusition was a pain Poor team coordination Sluggish management with not-so-good-ideas Slow pace of learning and getting exposed to new and interesting ideas

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Arm, like all big companies, can feel complex at times. We deliberately seek to include the right people at the right time in decision-making and collaborate broadly because diverse perspectives lead to better results. If you haven’t already, please share your ideas on how to improve team coordination and decision-making with your manager or a member of the People team. It's great to read that learning is important to you. In 2022 we moved to self-directed learning model which means you can determine what and when you learn. Have a look at the Learning and Development pages of the intranet for more information and for links to our nine new learning pillars.
