Pros
- OK working environment - Charismatic bouqet of technical employees - Many Pokemon and Star Wars fans - Lots of games at the office: playing cards, XBOX, PS4 - Not much actual work done - Great share-based compensation programme for all employees - Dress as you wish culture, generally unkempt 'DevOps' attire fits best
Cons
- Very high levels of politics - Some teams get replaced overnight - Plenty of talk and quite little action - Small decisions that may be considered trivial elsewhere take long times to achieve - Clueless and disengaged management relies on scare tactics - Presenteeism, as long as your act looks like a fit then there's not much expected - Outdated internal and customer technology and very little appetite for change - Zero products, everything is made by other companies and ARM gets a share, more like a parasitic business model.
