Pros

Decent salary, good benefits and bonus packages. You are what you make of yourself at ARM. Opportunities to progress career if you take them.

Cons

Cambridge area is expensive, particularly housing. Company struggling a bit with logistics of headcount growth, but new facilities should help with that.

Thanks for leaving a review! You're absolutely right that we've struggled with the logistics of headcount growth, and we're working to correct that in both of the facilities and the processes we have in place (HR, IT, etc.). It's one of the few cons to doing so well, we're expanding rapidly to the point we've overgrown our current housing capacity. As noted with previous reviews, we're reviewing the total rewards package across all regions and groups which could address the cost of living factor of Cambridge. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

People are generally friendly and helpful. Small-company culture means there's only minimal bureaucracy. People work hard, but there's a good work/life balance. Meetings are used sparingly and for big-picture tasks. When you need to talk to someone, you walk to their desk or IM them, which means problems can be solved faster. Free soda and coffee.

Cons

Nothing I can think of.

Thank you for leaving a review. It's good to see people are factoring in RSUs in their compensation package, as it does make a big difference, especially since our stock has performed so well over the years! In regards to management and leadership for India, please do speak with your line manager with any concerns you do have. If your line manager is the person you are having problems with, then please contact your regional HR Business Partner. Regardless if you do bring this issue up, I am passing this information along to my colleagues in ARM India HR just so they are aware. Thank you again for the feedback! -Rick C.
