Thanks for leaving a review! Historically, ARM was primarily focused on developing hardware IP, but these days ARM is now equal in hardware and software roles! If you mean for your role you were expecting more HW work and instead had more SW, our new AFDS logbook would have allowed you to address your work balance with your line manager on a more frequent basis. That being said, we wish you the best in your career! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Thanks for leaving a review Historically, yes, we were more of a hardware company. As the company has grown, our engineers and developers are now about 50% in hardware and 50% in software, so we definitely need to be friendly to the folks in software! We have teams around the globe that focus on software, be it for the mBed OS or verification tools for our partners. If there is a specific instance you feel that ARM is not treating employees working in software equally to those of software, please do connect with me and let us know, as we are making ARM a great place to work for all employees! -Rick C.

Pros

Good vacation time, 401k match, RSU and sabbatical. Open door policy. No BS politics. Love people I've worked with for the last 12 years. You show respect, you get them back 99%. Free soda and subsidized snack and lunch, so cheap for emergency. Management style is not authoritarian even CEO - a respectful person. Indeed, I love ARM.

Cons

Nothing I can think of.

Thanks for leaving a review as well as to your 12 years of service with ARM! As we're growing more and more, employees with a long tenure are increasingly rarer these days. Your time with ARM has helped shape both the growth and culture of the company, and will continue to shape all the new employees joining ARM. Continue to be great at ARM! -Rick C.
