      Pros

      Arm provides great benefits, which allow employees to just focus on how they can best contribute to the company. Great, collaborative company culture. -- Competitive salary -- Good bonuses -- "FlexPot" benefit that help reimburse kid's college tuition, pay for personal growth, etc (thousand of dollars per year) -- GREAT time-off benefits (4-5 wks vacation, 4 wk sabbatical every 4 years) -- no-hassle business travel budgets -- respect for work-life balance The company culture is very collaborative; all about "we, not I", so there are few problems with big egos. Everyone is helpful and cooperative. There isn't a significant divide between managers and employees; there is little emphasis on "hierarchy".

      Cons

      -- Dealing with disperse geographies (notably San Jose, Austin TX, and Cambridge England) creates challenges. Many people seem to report to someone whose office is thousands of miles away. It's not uncommon for someone in San Jose to report to a manager in Austin, who reports to someone in Austin, who reports to an executive back in San Jose. This works better for more senior people, who can work independently; new college grads need a lot more guidance so need to be co-located with their manager and others in their group. -- some work areas are being changed from cubicles into Facebook-style long work benches, due to space constraints ... although I would never want to work that way, apparently new college grads don't mind

      As with any company there will always be challenges and areas for improvement. Individual team cultures can vary at times based on their leadership. However, the goal is to have a rich and fulfilling growth-oriented culture that spans across the global organization collectively and I believe Arm is well on its way to achieving this.

      Pros

      A very diverse company with good onsite facilities which were being vastly improved with a huge campus expansion. The people are friendly and highly intelligent as expected from a leading Cambridge tech firm.

      Cons

      Pockets of inexperienced and poor management which damage the image of a good company. In some areas the work/life balance is very good, but in others it is very pressured and long hours are expected.

      Thank you for leaving a review and acknowledging the strides Arm has made in establishing one of the brightest and most diverse work environments in the industry. As with any company there will always be challenges and areas for improvement. Individual team cultures can vary at times based on their leadership. However, the goal is to have a rich and fulfilling growth-oriented culture that spans across the global organization collectively and I believe Arm is well on its way to achieving this. I realize the impact leaders can have and leading by example is where it needs to start. It’s important you feel empowered to provide constructive feedback to your management team to help them develop and grow as leaders. Change can only happen if we allow it too.
