Pros

Not as much bureaucracy when it comes to technical documents and access to information. There's not as much questioning of "what's business need to know" when looking for information. On-boarding orientation process includes a "Big Picture" event where they try to convey the big picture of ARM's business and how it works. Free flavored sparkling water (La Croix), coffee, tea provided. No free soda (might be a con) though which may increase personal health. Choice of MacBook or Thinkpad. Covered garage parking provided. Ping pong table, foosball table in breakroom. Many employees get a chance to travel to Cambridge for business. Opportunities to attend 1 or 2 technical conferences for free. There are many internal ARM conferences that people may attend. Most are located in Cambridge, UK.

Cons

IT department is not staffed well. You can submit a ticket for a problem you're having, but it's not guaranteed that you'll get your problem fixed. Oftentimes, you need to fix things yourself. Minimal office amenities at the Chandler office site. No gym or shower facilities.

Pros

Very well managed company (financially, products, marketing) with full transparency. Feels like a family. Huge penetration in smartphone and a great potential to build up on that for IoT, especially after the Softbank acquisition. Great strategy for hardware and software. Good compensation. # of employees grew by 20% just in the last one year

Cons

Opportunities to optimize/accelerate decision making

Pros

Amazing career opportunities with a company that is growing quickly; leadership actively supports career development of its employees; flexible working environment (location and hours); Able to provide open and honest feedback to leaders across the company; Company culture that supports people to be unique individuals; Arm cares about people not just as employees but as whole people--this is demonstrated through policies, company practices and benefits.

Cons

Arm is growing and evolving--for some this is very exciting and seen as an opportunity. For others change can be difficult.
