Pros

very flat structure. opinion of all employees is valued. a group culture. no top down directives. very dynamic in structure and re-structure. Easy to move horizontally.

Cons

sometimes it takes a while to get engaged in one direction since the whole group needs to buy in before movement starts

ARM is indeed a Great place to work

Staff verification engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies, excellent work environment and a culture that encourages innovation and creativity, great benefits and work life balance, highly capable and motivated work force led well by the top level management. Company ethos is one of a responsible and caring industry leader rather than a company that is only interested in profits and abuse of it's market share.

Cons

Slow to adapt to change, rapid growth in the last 2 years has been difficult but ARM is slowly but surely changing for the good. There are some redundancies in engineering development and design centres can sometimes compete with each other instead of collaborating with each other as parts of the same company
