Pros: Very good work culture. Everyone was happy to help if you needed. You also learn a lot.

Cons: I don't have any cons.

Pros: * The pay is very good. Outside of Cambridge in most places you will earn a very good wage for your living costs. * The offices are nice. Standing desks, no hot-desks. Quiet environment and you are free to go to the one of many meeting rooms if you need to. It's a technology company so technical people are taken seriously.

Cons: * Poor work-life balance because Arm Manchester mainly recruits very smart young people and makes them work super hard. Most people do additional work into the evenings, either on the record or not. Most people will claim not to even though they do! This is because the level of workload that is assigned to each employee - you are not directly told to work overtime but if you don't, you will get bad performance reviews etc. * Confrontational and competitive environment which is not really a collaborative environment unless you were hired in via a referral and already have allies there. * Lack of focus on testing and quality because there is no real resourcing for testing/test quality. It is a developer-led organisation and testing is seen as an afterthought or not important in general.

Pros: There is a lot of very interesting work happening here. The compensation is decent, and Cambridge allows a good lifestyle.

Cons: The company is growing, but still rather small. While decent, the compensation feels weak compared to other international opportunities.
