      Great Company - Too Much Politics

      Pros

      Let it be said that ARM is a fantastic company - good pay, good benefits, good opportunities. We're exposed to great opportunities and the working space in cambridge is fantastic!

      Cons

      What lets it down is the politics - it's got too big too fast and many are playing games to get ahead. if you're a non-engineer in this company, prepare to feel unimportant at times. There is a huge push to help engineers feel well paid and looked after, but non-engineers struggle. There is no definition of grades for non-engineers and no guidelines on how you can improve.

      Pros

      ARM owns and sets the standard for the ARM Architecture as well as the AMBA bus interface specifications which are used by many other companies. I really enjoy working on products that are using future versions of these specifications and having the opportunity to feed in enhancements to the specifications before they are made public. I am constantly amazed at how well everyone works together - designers, verification engineers, management, etc. There is very little by the way of politics. Allows us to focus on the fun engineering work. ARM's IT infrastructure is continuing to grow and helps ensure we have the right tools to do the job.

      Cons

      ARM is growing in terms of employee numbers as well as quantity of concurrent projects. This is causing a shift from a fairly flat, well connected, organization to one that is slightly more focussed/hierarchical in nature.

      Thanks for leaving a review! When hiring at ARM, we are proud to have a set of behaviors that reflect our unique culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together. These behaviors are assessed as part of the recruitment process, which is part of the reason why everyone works so well together! As we continue to grow as a company, the shift to have a more focused hierarchical structure needs to be balanced with the need to ensure that the ARM culture that made us so great is not lost. As always, we welcome feedback at any time, so feel free to share any suggestions you have via email or find me in the cafe since we're both in the Austin office! -Rick C.

      Pros

      You'll touch almost every player in consumer electronics, from the silicon provider to the OEM to the apps players.

      Cons

      Some conflict re British mentality vs US mentality.
