Arm

• My work is challenging but interesting.

• Awesome new benefits package which gives £4.5k a year to spend on activities, health, and development. I claimed my entire sum to contribute to the deposit on my first home.

• The people I work with are good fun and not overly political.

• Inflexibility in the older staff, it's a shame to see good ideas wasted.

• Overworked middle management. For the past year or so my middle managers have been processing amazing amounts of information, and one of them has already burnt out. It was a shame to lose her as she was a great manager.

This expansive hiring policy is a little scary because it introduces instability into the company and suggests we are willing to make decisions more on the extreme side at the top level.

I would hate for ARM to over-target and then for the executive team to decide some kind extreme move in the other direction. I would have to consider long and hard on my future if I thought the company was beginning to under perform enough on expectations.
