Pros: Great environments to work in, feels like a Google or Amazon Good people team, managers really care about careers and nurturing The culture is interesting - see cons also! - people are encouraged to try new things and collaboration is essential, it's a fun place to work, everyone is engaged and inclusive. Competitive salary Good non salary rewards (a FlexPot of 4.5k to spend on health, finance makes it easy to join the gym!) Very easy to move between departments

Cons: Getting things done across and sometimes within groups requires a lot of energy, and project management and commitment seem to be lacking in some parts of the organisation. I think this is part cultural as people can be easily distracted and projects are not well defined or funded.

Pros: The benefits included flexible working time, interesting projects, and decent pay.

Cons: B b b b b

Pros: Good name on CV. Opportunity to work on latest technology which has become a de facto standard in quite a few markets. Good work life balance.

Cons: Software is not the main focus of the company, but just something that comes "free" with the hardware IPs. Hence there is an evident lack of focus on execution as no pressure comes from (not) having SW products that need to be sold to customers. Recently the company is trying to market itself as not only an HW company but the culture is too distant from US big names (Google, Facebook, Microsoft) and also from US based, product focused semiconductor companies such as Broadcom or Qualcomm. The SW teams are also hugely involved in political games between managers, poor communication with other groups, frequent reorganisations to shuffle managers around resulting in projects being abandoned and people frequently jumping from project to project. Compensation is improving but not enough for the Cambridge area.
