Pros

Really at the heart of the high-tech industry. Challenging work. Good location. Good benefits package and incentive schemes. Good parties. Collegiate, low-stress atmosphere

Cons

Onerous management review and development system. Could make more money working elsewhere: pay is not adjusted according to local living expenses.

Thanks for leaving a review! We love to challenge our employees, as well as make sure are well rested to take on the challenge of the industry. As far adjustment for local living expenses, this has been noted by many others regarding Cambridge, and sadly a factor outside our control. However, compensation across all regions/teams is being reviewed by the Rewards team, and they will make adjustments where necessary once completed. We have the ARM 25th Anniversary Festival coming up, so make sure to join for the celebration in Cambridge, look for more information from the Internal Communications team! -Rick C.

Pros

Excellent benefits, healthcare, time-off, work-life balance, annual bonus, company stock, sabbatical

Cons

Conservative management, company is very risk-averse, new technology is not easily embraced. ARM is primarily a hardware company and isn't particularly good at managing software products.
