Pros

Clever people, very sound senior leadership, people who care about the people and the industry. Long term decisions made for the greater good of the company and ecosystem. Great benefits - RSU's and Sabbaticals.

Cons

It tends to be such a good environment that people commit a lot of time - it can swallow you up - when things are going well and you are engaged, this is great, when things aren't going so well, this can be more tough.

Pros

ARM is a fair employer. The work is challenging, demanding and at times interesting. A lot of experienced people you get to learn from. Benefits package is on par with the industry standard.

Cons

Salaries are way higher for the same role in the US, at times double. Cost of living in UK is very very high, inflation is high, economy is down. Quality of life is not great.

Pros

Great Work culture, great work life balance, competent salary, lots to learn, helpful peers and superiors, amazing engineers, good HR policies

Cons

If you are not in Cambridge, you are always an outsider. Moreover no recognition if you are not in U.K. no matter how good ideas you have or how good you have performed. You never get to know how your performance in the company as it is quite English way to say bad things as not too bad, ok things as good and just good things as excellent. Management will patiently listen to your grievances and will pretend that they are acting upon it but eventually it all goes down the drain. If you are not in a profit making team, chances are you team will be shut down instead of shuffling within the company or finding some work for the team. I have seen great engineering teams shut down because of failure of marketing and /or sales team in getting new businesses and leads.
