Pros

The working location is highly flexible (allow WFH). Most members in our department spend only 40% to 60% of their time in the office, with some colleagues coming in as little as 20% each week. There’s a wealth of accessible resources — even if you’re working on a specific project, you still have access to nearly all documentation and development materials.

For those eager to learn, this role offers extensive learning opportunities and a high level of visibility into internal technologies.

Cons

Working hours can be relatively long, and there are frequent urgent tasks. You need to be mentally prepared for some external teaching responsibilities.

Additionally, when internal timelines cannot align with external demands, there may be emotionally charged reactions from some Taiwanese clients. A strong sense of emotional resilience is required, as issues are often not our fault.

Advice to Management

Arm’s leadership is visionary and excellent at thinking big. However, I often observe a tendency to attempt running before mastering how to stand.

At times, management seems out of touch with the actual pace of development, which can lead to product failures.
