Thanks for leaving a review. Transparency and communication are only some of the values we pride ourselves on. Everyone genuinely is open to helping each other to help the company grow! Regarding flexible work, that is usually decided upon with each employee's line manager, so experiences will vary from employee to employee. We recently implmented a new AFDS log book, which allows more frequent communication between employee and manager. With more frequent communication, this allows trust to be built, which hopefully would lead to more flexibile work schedules. Thanks, -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Thanks for leaving a review! One of the most frequent comments I read on our reviews is that the work that our employees are doing is very meaningful and has a huge impact in shaping the world. Employees do show that they are willing to put in the extra hours needed to make ARM successful, as they are proud of the work they are doing, though there is still a fine balance needed, and hence why we offer the 4-week sabbatical after 4 years of employment. Make sure to take relax with they day off that all employees receive for the ARM 25th anniversary, as well as enjoy yourself at the ARM 25th Festival coming up on December 2nd! -Rick C.
