      Thanks for leaving a review! When we were a publicly traded company, we had both RSU/ESPP plans to give employees ownership of the company they worked for, so their success at work also meant success for them financially via stocks. As we are now a wholly owned subsidiary of Softbank, we have no stocks/RSU/ESPP as part of our Rewards package. In its place, we now have both the Launch and Partner awards, in addition to the Arm Flexpot, which provides an annual set amount to each employee to use as they see fit for personal development, health and wellbeing or charitable contribution. I've already use mine for hiking boots and a massage! -Rick C. Employer Branding and Social Media Specialist

      Pros

      Pay is good, culture is good, work-life balance is great.

      Cons

      Location in Austin is somewhat "middle of nowhere" south of downtown Austin and requires a car to get to.

      Thanks for leaving a review! Finding a place that can house 700+ employees while also providing parking requires a lot of planning, with the current facilities at Encino Trace offering both. Since we signed up as one of the original tenants during pre-construction, we also had ample feedback and say in the layout/design of the building. The idea was to being able to house everyone all in one spot as opposed to spread out over multiple building, similar to our Cambridge offices. That said, we do offer a lot of flexible working, providing employees with the tools they need to remote login to access data/HPC as needed. The work-life balance you mentioned also extends to the trust we have in our employees to get their work done. This could mean you work a different time shift, say from 6am-3pm, to avoid traffic, or from 8am-3pm to head home and pick up your kids, while then finishing up the last 2 hours from home. I encourage you to talk to your line manager on more flexible working scenarios, as ultimately it starts with the employee/line manager relationship. -Rick C.

      Most laid back big company I've ever worked for

      Pros

      I've worked for several large companies before and Arm is by far the most laid back of any of them. The management is very cool and accessible. (I sat next to the CEO Simon Segars at a dinner a couple of months after starting. The benefits are better than average(healthcare especially!) There are also little intangible benefits: farm to table cafe with a private chef on site, funds available for self-improvement, super flexible work schedule.

      Cons

      There are two main downsides to working at Arm here in Austin. First, no stock shares. Since Arm is owned by Softbank now, there's no opportunity for stock to be a part of compensation. Second, the Arm office is pretty far south. If you live down south that's a benefit. Unfortunately I live north so the drive can be hellish depending on the time.
