Thank you for applying and for leaving a review. I am sorry that you have such a negative perception of Arm. We absolutely do not consider our employees as cogs within a machine, so I am sorry that this is your impression of us. Most job descriptions for any company will mention experience working in a relevant field. This is not to say that Arm does not respect and value candidates with different work or educational backgrounds, and we will consider any candidate with a strong application for a role regardless of if their application matches perfectly with the job specification or not. One of our core beliefs is be your brilliant self, and we encourage employees to have unique and diverse thoughts, beliefs and ideas. We recognise that teams made up of individuals from not only diverse backgrounds, but also with diverse ways of thinking are often the most successful. Arm also has many programs designed to help our employees learn and grow, such as online courses, Lunch & Learns, and other training sessions. We also certainly encourage both upward and lateral mobility with the company. It is unfortunate that you feel this way about our hiring processes. Regardless, we value your feedback and will take it seriously as we continue to grow and improve our recruitment process. -Yvette S.
