Business Outlook

Pros

Brilliant staff. Plenty of opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Struggling with growth. A lot of position churn makes it difficult to plan projects and communicate effectively. Many projects understaffed in order to balance growth vs revenue which is understandable but stressful and limiting company performance.

Thanks for leaving a review! Even though we're growing at a rapid pace, we're not immune to growing pains. Balancing growth vs revenue like you said is a necessary though we try to limit doing so as much as possible. A challenge is changing the mindset of software candidates in the industry is more than just a hardware company, when in reality, we are about 50% software now! That being said, every company has attrition, though we are quite proud our attrition rate is one of the lowest in the tech industry! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Cons

There are minor processes that could could use improvement: po approvals, expenses, legal review of contracts causes hold ups, etc.

Thanks for leaving a review! Another review also mentioned the great, brilliant people in every region, as well as the benefits. In comparing our reviews to our competition, work-life balance is listed in the "pro" category for every company, but also in the "con" category....except ARM! As mentioned in other responses, we've grown rapidly and some of our processes have not scaled to match the speed that we now need to operate at. Our Organizational Effectiveness team is addressing a lot of the feedback we have received though there is still work to be done. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
