Pros

Interesting work, People oreintated, Lastest tech, WLB is great, Promote self improvement and learning. Challenging but not stressful. Very friendly and inclusive. Above average TC.

Cons

None really, although coming from more fast paced startup orientated companies, pace is slower which is a bit of culture shock. Not really con, just different.

Thanks for reflecting on your time with us in Cambridge. It’s great to hear you valued both the pay and the culture, those are areas we put a lot of focus on as we aim to attract and retain extraordinary talent. We know the campus location can feel a little outside the centre, though we try to balance that with facilities onsite and flexible working options where possible. Your feedback is appreciated and helps us keep shaping the experience of working at Arm.
