Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Work-life balance is one of the key 'pros' we see more than 'cons' at Arm, so I'm a little surprised to read this. Would you be open to picking up with me directly? Aylin.Halil@arm.com so I can understand a little more about your experience.

Pros

Work-Life Balance: Widely praised for flexible hybrid schedules and a supportive, low-pressure environment. Standout Perks: Highly rated for its 4-week paid sabbatical program and quarterly "Days of Care" company-wide days off. Collaborative Culture: Features a friendly, ego-free workplace that strongly emphasizes a "we, not I" team mentality. Strong Benefits: Offers excellent overall compensation, including valuable stock options (RSUs) and comprehensive healthcare.

Cons

Pace of Work: Some employees note that projects and decision-making can move slowly due to the relaxed culture.
