Pros

Collaborative culture and amazingly intelligent people makes for a great place to work. There are so many opportunities at ARM and you really feel like you can make an impact because the company is still relatively small.

Cons

The company has grown quickly and therefore some of the processes are not scalable. As such there can be some bureaucracy but there is serious effort to improve this. The office environment in terms of facilities could be better. By no means are they bad, but there is definitely room for improvement.

Thanks for your honest feedback. We completely acknowledge that we have grown very quickly, and some of our services haven't scaled to match our growth. We are investing heavily in our IT department both from an infrastructure standpoint, as well as personnel to ensure our employees have the best tools available to do their jobs. Hopefully with the expansion at ARM HQ in Cambridge, they can also do a quick refit of the offices there to make it a bit more modern! Thanks, -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Thank you for leaving a review. I'm sorry that you feel that ARM is a bad company to work for. I'm going to assume that you meant to put "monotonous work" and "no facilities for employees" under the cons, and not pros, and that you don't have any positive experiences working at ARM. Regarding our facilities, we are limited to the office building we're located in Bangalore, so things like a sports facility may be difficult to get put in the office. As for the food, I can't speak to our Bangalore office, but I have passed along this feedback to relevant team members. We offer a competitive wage, and when you also factor in the equity and benefits that we offer to all full time employees, ARM compares quite favorably to other high tech companies, especially when you factor in things like work-life balance. If you still feel that your pay is significantly below the average, please do bring it up in your upcoming TAP review. It will also be a good time to bring up your work (or even earlier in your regular 1:1's), if you consider it monotonous, as it's easier to course correct through multiple stages throughout the year as opposed to one big review at the end of the year. Thanks, -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

Lots of resources to learn from. People are super helpful and go out of their way to ensure you understand how different things fit together. In my case, I was a software automation engineer and had lots of one on one help from senior engineers explaining how different tools and programs work together. There was never an instance where I was stuck or lost and no one was able to help me. Work is challenging, but rewarding. Work life balance is great as well. There was no micromanagement and as long as I got the work done, my superiors were fine with it.

Cons

I wasn't here long enough to see the cons.
