Arm Work Experiences

Good work -life balance

Technical Lead • Former Employee

Cambridge, United Kingdom

Pros: Decent work, good share options. The option for a sabbatical every four years is good. Peers are good and get to learn a lot from them.

Cons: Big company syndrome, hard to shift divisions. Some departments are less critical to the business than others. If you are unlucky and get stuck in one of them, you will find it hard to move,
