Pros

I would recommend this company to a friend but make sure you avoid the PDG organisation at any cost. Majority of other organisations have the British culture and are reasonable.

Cons

In PDG, constant workplace bullying, verbal abuse, threatening, humiliation, and intimidation. It is common for leaders, managers and leader-favorite employees to speak dismissively and abusively. It’s a thing that most managers (especial middle layer managers) have two faces, one for sucking up to upper, one for abusing peers or their direct reports. Quality line manager is nonexistent. How many more lawsuit (arbitrations/litigations) does it take for Arm to take steps to address the toxic cultures in PDG? By the way, HR by nature is against you and is to protect the company being sued at all cost. You should prepare for an exit route if you plan to stand up to your line manager for his/hers bullying/abusive behavior in this physical design group organisation. Seems like majority of the dissatisfy reviews are referring to PDG based on the job titles.
