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
