Pros

Culture, benefits, and the proven investment in people. This company is small and agile. If you are lucky enough to work for ARM you'll really see what it's like to be part of a healthy company. Incredibly smart people working here that really know the value of teamwork.

Cons

The recruiting and offer process is a little strange and drawn out, but that may just be the way they filter out the best employees to find a good match.

Thanks for leaving a review and the feedback! We're no longer at the "small" company size, though each of our offices has their own unique culture so it sometimes feels like we're still a scrappy young company! Our recruiters do a great job to filter out the best candidates as you mentioned, and with the need to quickly ramp up hiring in the last year to accommodate all the extra growth due to the Softbank acquisition, we've actually doubled recruiting staff in some regions, with the US as an example! -Rick C.
