Pros: Cambridge is nice Reputable company Possibility of internal moves

Cons: If you're a compiler engineer or a software engineer joining a compiler team under CE-SW, please reconsider. Upper management are known to play favourites, hold on to toxic employees, you can complain a million times about bullying and discrimination but the ones who bully and discriminate are not held accountable since they are friends of the managers. The diversity of the teams is on the decline and when these issues are raised the response is usually “there's nothing we can do”. I would stay away unless you're hired based on a personal connection to the engineering managers.

Pros: Professional, nice people, caring, interesting projects

Cons: As with any other company in the field, projects can be a bit stretched. However, this is sometimes what keeps things running. (Mainly writing as I don't have many cons really).

Pros: There are lots of smart people doing good work. They use the latest technologies. There are interesting high-level company plans for the future. UK Reward (pay, RSU, etc.) is good. There are good people. There is hybrid working (2 days/week in office).

Cons: Experience varies by team. Poor management, which is reactive not proactive. There is poor, ineffective project management. Constant reorganisations (which produce no real result) are disruptive. There are poor internal communications between teams.It is quite political in certain towns. There is extensive politics with and between teams.It is middle management and project management heavy. Guidance from managers is often vague. There is a requirement to do lots of peripheral tasks around the main task. There are not many social and team activities. Often poor strategic decisions are made.It is losing UK culture and becoming an American-style company.
