Thanks for leaving a review! I noticed that in your review you left a rating of two stars for Career Opportunities. We place a lot of value in the training and learning & development of our employees, so they can advance in their careers. I encourage you to take a look at the Talent Development section of the ARM Intranet to see what opportunities you have available to you. Might I also suggest taking a look through the other open roles at ARM, to see if there is a new job function that might interest you? -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Too big to still have a startup culture

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility to work on different domains. Open culture where there is no recommended way of doing things. You do what you think is best.

Cons

Tends to end up being not industry standard. Late adoptions of workflows, tools which are common across the industry.

At the heart of the future of computing

Business Outlook

Pros

- Global impact across much of computing from mobile, TVs, automotive, microcontrollers and soon servers and IoT - Opportunities to travel and work with a massive distribution of customers across nearly all aspects of computing - Large opportunities to progress for those willing to work hard, but also support for those who wish to continue to perform well at their current positions - Great company culture around employee development and co-work to success. - Excellent work life balance especially sabbatical (4-week block of extra holiday every 4 years of service)

Cons

- A few growing pains due to recent growth - With increasing customers and commitments there is less time for spontaneous creativity (i.e. innovation)
