Pros

Very talented, smart, down to earth and nice co-worker provide an enjoyable and product work environment with excellent work-life balance. A drive for innovation, success and teamwork at all levels of the organization. Management is strong, passionate, accessible, transparent and always concerned about employee well being and company culture. Benefits and compensations are very good!

Cons

Lots of recent changes can be unsettling and rapid growth of employee pool might affect the level of talent and resilience of the Arm culture. Some bureaucracy and inefficient processes for non core activities of the company.

Pros

- Co-workers are great - WFH options (least in my department) - Cafe while "subsidized" (not really at all) does have decent healthy options from time to time - Healthcare benefits are top tier as well as 401k and others - Culture

Cons

- Some of the departments have no idea how to run a successful project (yet claim it was a success). An attempt to introduce to technology or methods takes years and that is even if the idea doesn't get canned before then or simply abandoned in favor of engineers own creations. No global company standards for tech. - Cafe on-site but not subsidized, may as well go anywhere else as it will be cheaper/more value for your money - No snacks or drinks other than flavored la croix, goes back to the cafe where they want you to spend your money - Work life balance - Focus on policy and procedure comes from an overseas office where idea's seem skewed - Below average compensation for the work performed - No lateral movement within most departments seems everything is artificially locked behind a budget. If you are somehow promoted you will not receive the proper compensation nor title. - Can do awesome in your performance review however due to top level management still get denied raises or additional benefits.

Pros

In general a good employer. ARM is growing, fast-paced, lots of opportunities to develop career. The company is full of very smart people.

Cons

Supporting functions are overstretched. Can be difficult to keep a work-life balance. In general, salaries are below the industry level in different areas of the business. No benefits for contractors or fixed term.
