Pros

Be at the heart of the action! ARM is working with all semiconductor manufacturers on very advanced projects: if you're a geek, you will like this!

Cons

Many meetings (that's ARM's culture!)... sometime you may think this is not the best way to be productive

Thanks for leaving a review! We partner with the biggest as well as the smallest semiconductor companies out there, so our employees have a great opportunity to be part of the booming Internet of Things. And you're absolutely right, if you're a geek, you'll like it at ARM! Meetings are a part of the culture here, we are trying to encourage different channels of communication like Skype and Yammer for smaller, but more frequent bits of communication. Scaling rapidly to keep up with our rapid growth is something we are always looking to improve, and we're always open to feedback! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
