Very professional team. Product quality treated very seriously! Interesting projects around the highest technology. Great benefits.

Cons

Tight schedules and very short delivery time. Salary in Cambridge a bit inappropriate to costs of living.

Thanks for leaving a review! We feel we have some of the smartest minds in the industry helping drive the Internet of Things, especially as we move towards our goal of 1 Trillion connected devices in the next twenty years. With Softbank's commitment to double employee headcount in the UK, hopefully that should alleviate some of the pressures of time tables and deliverables as we accelerate our growth. As for Cambridge itself, that is an issue that everyone in the area feels, and unfortunately something out of our control. From an article in the Cambridge News, "Councillor Kevin Price, Cambridge City Council executive councillor for housing, said the last 10 years had seen "very significant" house price inflation in Cambridge, with properties costing 75.3% more in 2016 than they did in 2006, and housing affordability in relation to average wages at an all-time high." ARM salaries are competitive against other similar companies/roles in the area, though even that falls short of the growth of the housing market in Cambridge. -Rick C.
