Pros

Sabbatical every 4 years, decent working environment in terms of facilities and infrastructure. Respected employer, with employees that historically care about the company and it's future success.

Cons

Company is growing up and getting far more corporate, with less emphasis on getting the job done vs. spin. Becoming a far more political environment to work in. Lots of emphasis on talent and new people coming in, but those new people don't really have the talent and really don't care about the future management of the company.

Pros

Flexible scheduling Casual work environment Happy hours during business hours Amazing benefits - free medical/dental/vision, awesome 401K match, great RSU grants, and great bonus plan Decent salary

Cons

Some unfriendliness; if you aren't a seasoned employee, they treat you like an outsider Not very thorough training, if you even receive any If are low on the totem poll, you feel it Don't offer coaching/counseling; if you're having problems, they just fire you If you're not in the UK (HQ), you don't get all of the perks

Thanks for the feedback, though we hope you miss us at least a little if you've since left us! Since late 2013, we've taken steps to improve the process flow for training, promotion, retention and overall communication within the company. We invite you to reach out to your former colleagues to see how things have changed around the office.

Pros

Very good benefits (you start off with 4 weeks of vacation). Lots of focus on people development; Quite open to people moving across the company to different roles; It is the market leader in processor IP and the brand really helps in other markets as well. A truly global company. They give young people early chance to succeed.

Cons

If you're not based in Cambridge (UK), you're out of the loop. It's a very political company. And senior executives push their boys onto the big stage. Suddenly out of nowhere, you'll see young and very smart (but woefully unprepared) people being thrust into senior positions. Or mediocre people out of Cambridge sent to fill key roles in the satellite offices.
