Thanks for leaving a review! I noticed that in your review you left a rating of two stars for Career Opportunities. We place a lot of value in the training and learning & development of our employees, so they can advance in their careers. I encourage you to take a look at the Talent Development section of the ARM Intranet to see what opportunities you have available to you. Might I also suggest taking a look through the other open roles at ARM, to see if there is a new job function that might interest you? -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

Flexibility to work on different domains. Open culture where there is no recommended way of doing things. You do what you think is best.

Cons

Tends to end up being not industry standard. Late adoptions of workflows, tools which are common across the industry.
