Arm Reviews

Pros

- Very nice people to work with, mostly with a good sense of community - Visa sponsorship and relocation support was a big deal for me - They gave me an amazing computer to work on (P720 ThinkStation) - Plenty of freedom to work - No hassle with the time you arrive or go home as long as you put the hours - There are cases of colleagues that are long time stablished company employees that work from home and others that want to move to another city the company is in and they allow it - There are cash bonuses, but that's like several different bonuses that get combined at different times of the year - Quiet and relaxed workplace. No dress code (except for meetings or events). - Free bus to work from certain places - Generous FlexPot to allow you to spend money on personal wellbeing and then they reinburse you the expense (good for non work related courses and books, sports equipement, etc.) - They did an amazing job with day one induction (most of the first day they talk about the company and the culture and organization)

Cons

- The company is big, sometimes it takes some work to understand my own role in such a huge, fast growing company. Fortunately, the people that works with me are pretty well organized. - Getting up to speed technically in your work might take some time (don´t worry, they know that and give you time, but one cannot help but feel a bit of impostor syndrome when they treat you that well)

Pros

Good salary and benefits mostly great people to work with nice offices flexible work approach

Cons

Poor communication Management don't appear to know the direction of the company with restructures occurring at least every 6 months Lack of transparency in restructures with people being let go in secret - culture of paying someone to make them go away Very poor HR department - unaware of HR related legal regulations, systemic people issues not dealt with Evidence of discrimination and unethical behaviour with employees not wanting to report this for fear they will be 'asked' to leave the company A lot of senior people who don't seem to do any work - or at least create any outputs, wildly inefficient It appears a lot of people are promoted because they've been in their role a certain amount of time or they have a poor line manager who will not challenge requests for promotion As above, line managers lacking the skills needed to manage people. This results in either people running amok, doing no work or not getting developed as the company promises

Pros

Great culture, pay, challenge, development

Cons

They want their pound of flesh. Some team members get an easy ride
