Arm in Trondheim (Norway) has a great work/life balance, line managers are good and usually very supportive.
There are lot of amenities (VR room, gym, free canteen, social rooms, makers room,...) and lot opportunities to socialize (game evening, sporting events,...).

Arm is still very hardware based company with very rigid processes, waterfall development model, clean separation of responsibilities between teams. This doesn't fit software development that much. But there is work culture differs between different sites.

Work is interesting, challenging and enjoyable. But poor infrastructure and lack of in-house tools make work harder than it needs to be.

Product development is driven mostly by ad-hoc client requests and managers, which hurts innovation from engineering in the end.

Everyone is friendly, especially management.  We do "real" hardcore engineering work and have good resources to do the job.  Flexible hours.  It's OK to ask questions and make mistakes as long as you own them and continually develop.

Not much protocol or procedure (but you do have a lot of autonomy).  Information isn't always communicated effectively.  Little documentation or code quality assurance plus resistance to adding things like documentation, unit tests, code reviews.

Worked as a consultant within the ISG division and overall fine experience working with all the teams on the M&A intagration efforts of the divisions SaaS acquisitions. 

Finance and Accounting team really worked great together and overcome   some obstacles but felt at ease and able to work together especially in with the HQ teams. 

Was consulting role so in retrospect should not have left but was offered a perm position at another growing company. 

Think long term they just need to focus on getting the systems and teams together and working as one which will happened down the road. 

All the best.

Some of the things about working there were the people. Guenine good hard working easy going people. The trade one also a great experience to learn up close and personal. The environment was played back for the most part. Yes there were a few bad apples but  what I've come to learn in life and the working world is that their everywhere you just gotta know how to deal with them

You will never be idle or bored, lots to do and learn. Providing the right infrastructure products and services to some of the best engineering teams in the world.

ARM was my first job in this field and it came as a new challenge to me. The fast learner that I am i found my way on the floor quickly, but was soon to find out that I was now in the pack of the big dogs. After learning tricks and skills and tactfully succeeding new challenges evryday, I was one of the big dogs.

Very limited leads provided sporadically with no clue when of how new leads would be obtained by ARM.  No management intervention or help, or information as to where the company was headed.

Not  a well known company but their technology is products you use everyday.  Competitive pay, Good benefits, with Work Life Balance.  As the company grows it's lost its start up feel and become more "corporate".  

Always innovating. 
Able to work autonomously.
Opportunities for leadership and advancement.
Opportunities for global exposure.
Good work-life balance, if you manage it.

The long hours and traveling was hard. The pay was good. But communication was lacking. Some co workers were great, others were very negative and constantly backstabbing.
