Thanks for leaving a review of your experience at ARM. As you mentioned, we offer all employees a flexible work schedule, and all FTE employees a very generous amount of PTO, both of which help with keeping your mind and energy levels refreshed. On your view of HR policies, we continually collect feedback and improve on said HR policies to make ARM an even better to work. Recent changes like the new AFDS log book help employees with better communication channels with their line managers, as well as their annual performance review/salary adjustment. -Rick C.

Arm Response

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.
