Pros

Flexible work hours On-site gym at Cambridge Good work-life balance

Cons

Pay can be higher, especially given the house prices and rental prices in Cambridge. Finding a parking space is a problem at the main campus.

Thanks for leaving a review! We pride ourselves on having a fantastic work-life balance, being flexible with time and placing trust in our employees to get the job done. Housing and rental prices are unfortunatenly items out of our control, though we do offer a competitive salary compared to other companies in Cambridge. As for parking, hopefully this will be resolved once the new campus is completed, though that will not be until sometime in 2017. You can also look into the ride-sharing option with other ARM colleagues that can also help you save some money on petrol! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

I feel like the company is interested in me and supports me, the company culture is great, the company has a very friendly and diverse environment. It seems that everyone is happy to be working here. Also, the location of my office, Cambridge is a very beautiful town with many interesting things to do

Cons

The benefits package could be more diverse. Also, as the company is rapidly growing, the offices are getting more crowded.

Pros

I'm treated like an intelligent and professional engineer. This does mean that being proactive is a necessity! Also, it definitely feels like my work is contributing to a real project. The work place culture does change from office to office but it's generally quite relaxed and facilitating to work. Everybody is friendly, understanding and helpful. The conference that ARM put on for all the graduates across the globe (US, Asia, Europe, etc... graduates were in one place for a week!) was great fun and informative. There were lots of seminars followed by great social events to facilitate networking. I'm hoping that I can get a rotation in an international office through my contacts made at the conference!

Cons

The work given at first felt like I was being thrown into the deep end but I feel that I'm up to speed (following perserverance and help from colleagues). There's quite a bit of management, culture, and admin basics to read at the beginning. However, it is stuff that all employees have to refresh on each year (atleast we're all in it together!) The graduate rotation process is a bit informal in that if you don't invest your own time and effort then you'll just be given a role in a discipline that you haven't experienced yet. If proactive, you can get a rotation in a role facilitating your long term plan.
