RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Arm full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Very much a culture of inclusiveness and a feeling of belonging. Just about every culture and country is represented in the office and it's a thriving multi-cultural environment.
Management are supportive, trusting and actively encourage personal development.
Many little touches add up into making working here a very enjoyable place; food, refreshments, pizza night - I could go on.Cons
The department is still going through a period of change and increasing head count so it's not always easy to remain focused.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work - keep trusting your staff and developing them.

Pros
Arm provides great benefits, which allow employees to just focus on how they can best contribute to the company. Great, collaborative company culture.
-- Competitive salary
-- Good bonuses
-- "FlexPot" benefit that help reimburse kid's college tuition, pay for personal growth, etc (thousand of dollars per year)
-- GREAT time-off benefits (4-5 wks vacation, 4 wk sabbatical every 4 years)
-- no-hassle business travel budgets
-- respect for work-life balance
The company culture is very collaborative; all about "we, not I", so there are few problems with big egos. Everyone is helpful and cooperative. There isn't a significant divide between managers and employees; there is little emphasis on "hierarchy".Cons
-- Dealing with disperse geographies (notably San Jose, Austin TX, and Cambridge England) creates challenges. Many people seem to report to someone whose office is thousands of miles away. It's not uncommon for someone in San Jose to report to a manager in Austin, who reports to someone in Austin, who reports to an executive back in San Jose. This works better for more senior people, who can work independently; new college grads need a lot more guidance so need to be co-located with their manager and others in their group.
-- some work areas are being changed from cubicles into Facebook-style long work benches, due to space constraints ... although I would never want to work that way, apparently new college grads don't mindAdvice to Management
Keep up the great company culture!
And keep investing in R&D, in upcoming areas where Arm can compete well.Arm 2018-06-22 12:38 PDT
