Pros

- Everyone is polite and respectful. - Work can be interesting. - No micromangement.

Cons

- Low base salary. The full compensation package itself is far from 'competitive'. - The CEO pretends that working fully remotely is 'tiring' and generally a bad thing. This means that the new 'hybrid workplace' is quite restrictive and requires you to be present at the contractual office location. - What you learn at Arm may be useful only for your career at Arm. - Slashes to compensation package with nothing concrete for the future. - Lots of colleagues leaving during the past 7 months and the company is currently in a hiring freeze.
