Arm Response

Thanks for leaving a review and to your over 8 years of service to ARM! We have a generous vacation policy, as well as a 4-week sabbatical after every four years of service, so I hope you've made use of the two that you've earned so far! The company is full of genuine, caring people who are happy to help answer questions and share ideas to a broad audience. Workload can vary from group to group, just as in any company, so we highly encourage a healthy work life balance with the aforementioned vacation policy. This is to ensure that our employees have sustainable energy throughout the workday to focus on their jobs! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

The company has a fantastic success. ARM is at the center of the whole semi-conductor company. The working experience and environment are great with capable engineering, opportunity if you are ready to move around the world. It is a true global and worldwide company

Cons

The company is very demanding with their employees, especially in the processor group. As the company is growing, the culture is changing from the start-up spirit to the "big company" bureaucracy. Inevitable ?
