Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Arm, like all big companies, can feel complex at times. We deliberately seek to include the right people at the right time in decision-making and collaborate broadly because diverse perspectives lead to better results. If you haven’t already, please share your ideas on how to improve team coordination and decision-making with your manager or a member of the People team. It's great to read that learning is important to you. In 2022 we moved to self-directed learning model which means you can determine what and when you learn. Have a look at the Learning and Development pages of the intranet for more information and for links to our nine new learning pillars.

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.
