      Great place to work, but your career may slip behind

      Pros

      As an employee in the Austin office, I find the culture laid back and friendly. As a European-based company, you get a lot of benefits and work-life benefits. While Arm doesn’t have the most advanced IP in the industry, the research division does an excellent job at picking stable, proven technology, and the business model behind Arm is extremely efficient and stable.

      Cons

      Some managers are highly technical, which is great for asking questions and daily interactions, but this makes communication for raises and promotions harder. In general, I’ve seen a lot of hard-working and well-deserving engineers get held back on promotions for far longer than they should. I’m not sure if this is because Arm just has a small budget allocated for promotions or that highly technical managers don’t fill the role of fighting for promotions. All too often I see people hired in at higher grade levels and doing the same work as current employees, which is very discouraging.

      Arm recruiting staffs & process are horrible and unprofessional.

      Pros

      ARM is a decent place to work but also depend on current and future to growth team.

      Cons

      ARM in Austin, Tx staffing are the worst that we are experience in. Most of the recruiters are NON-experience with recruiting, but somehow they end up at ARM in Austin. Most of our referral candidates got called from ARM staffing and their feedback to me are not impressed at all to ARM recruiters from (asked stupid and non intelligent questions, missed appointment with candidate, but when on the phone seems like ARM staffing was driving during conversation as well as dog barking on background). Our referral not impress at ARM staffing of its current process.

      Hello. I am saddened by your approach. Perhaps you spoke to your colleagues directly and did not get an adequate reply? We do have a number of avenues for you to raise these concerns. The recruiters we have on our team in Austin all have multiple years of prior professional recruiting experience. I am sorry to hear that a phone interview may have been missed or re-scheduled, or that a call may have been made while driving. Honestly, as I see the team working an average of 60 hours per week to keep up with our extraordinary growth, I am empathetic to the life-issues that interfere with a smooth process. But we do all want a better impression to our candidates. I am encouraged that through surveys received from over 200 candidates last year, 80% were either satisfied or completely satisfied with the recruiting process at ARM. Our goal is to get that to 90% or better in 2017, and I'd love it if you can help with that! I invite you to grab some time with me soon to discuss your ideas so we can partner effectively to continue shaping the extraordinary at ARM. I hope you are equally committed to that goal.
