Pros

- Listens and acts on employees feedback - Healthy work/life balance - Employees are encouraged to take an initiative - Some of the best technical guys around are here!

Cons

- Recent origanization growth rate is very rapid. There is a number of scalability issues, mostly in IT area - Lund site is (and feels like) a satellite one. No serious career graph or career variety there - Pay is on an average level, not extraordinary, plus no overtime payment at all.

Thanks for leaving a review! As you mentioned, ARM has grown rapidly in the last few years which is both a good and a bad thing. Good in the sense that we're doing great as a business to need to scale up very fast. Bad in the sense that we did not have the proper infrastructures and policies in place to reflect a larger organization. It's been a bit of a growing pain, and we thank employees for the feedback that we've needed to improve things internally. For compensation, salary is only one component of the total rewards package, which also includes RSUs, ESPP and annual bonuses. If you have any additional feedback, I please do bring it to the attention of your HR Business Partner, as they are there to support your teams to make ARM a great place to work! -Rick C.

Thanks for leaving a review of your experience at ARM. As you mentioned, we offer all employees a flexible work schedule, and all FTE employees a very generous amount of PTO, both of which help with keeping your mind and energy levels refreshed. On your view of HR policies, we continually collect feedback and improve on said HR policies to make ARM an even better to work. Recent changes like the new AFDS log book help employees with better communication channels with their line managers, as well as their annual performance review/salary adjustment. -Rick C.

Thanks for leaving a review! It's a bit of a cycle that we're caught in right now. As the ARM product portfolio grows and we get more industry recognition, our partners are looking for us to develop products faster. This means we need to hire additional people to offset the growing work load, but like you said, it can seem like we're growing too fast, especially since the IT infrastructure hasn't caught up to where our employee workforce level is at yet. BUT! We've been actively working on that by increasing IT hiring to help support the engineers that are driving the technology of tomorrow. For salary, the Rewards team is actively benchmarking across the tech industry, and will make adjustments as needed. We recently launched the new AFDS so there are more frequent conversations regarding employee development, and not just a review once at the end of the year. As far as attrition is concerned, we still have one of the lowest turnover numbers in the tech, or any industry for that matter, which we are extremely proud of. If you do have any additional feedback, please do feel free to reach out to me! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
