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. Social Recruiting Manager

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.
