Pros

Excellent salaries, benefits, general culture and onsite amenities for UK software engineers.

Cons

Directors have significant autonomy to run their departments in their own way, this results in varied culture and inconsistent processes. While Arm corporate is great, be warned locally YMMV. In particular engineers with few or no management skills are promoted into senior management positions. Resulting in a lack of empathy and genuine care for their people.

Pros

Lots of smart people doing good work. Latest technologies. Interesting high-level company plans for the future. UK Reward (pay, RSU, etc.) is good. Good people. Hybrid working (2 days/week in office)

Cons

Experience varies by team. Poor management, which is reactive not proactive. Poor, ineffective, project management. Constant reoganisations (which produce no real result) are distruptive. Poor internal communications between teams. Quite political in certtain tains. Extensive politics with and between teams. Middle management and project management heavy. Guidance from managers often vague. Requirement to do lots of peripheral tasks around main task. Not many social/team activities. Often poor strategic decisions are made. Losing UK culture. Becoming an American-style company.
