      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.

      Enjoyable, but always "on the outside" if you are not in Cambridge

      Pros

      five weeks of vacation! sabbatical every four years holidays you typically don't get in the US (Easter, Boxing Day, etc) you deal with EVERYONE in the semiconductor industry while Cambridge-centric for advancement, it is a fairly global company for its size Opportunity to move around between jobs

      Cons

      If you aren't in Cambridge advancement can be difficult raises tend to be small regardless of the company's success quite of few people at the exec level are just there because they were at ARM early on, and not really qualified to take ARM to the next level general impression of tightness with money - the silly things like not having projectors in meetings rooms with customers, limited paper/pens, very tight office space can make the place feel a little stressful at times although that has improved somewhat the past few years
