Hi, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, it is really appreciated and helps us hear the voice of our people. We work very hard on making arm a great place to work and try and give back as much as possible with lunch and learns, pizza, gyms, and some great benefits, so it's great that you have had a chance to immerse yourself in the culture. We do offer relocation so if you wanted to choose another of our cities please do speak to your line manager, I do love Sheffield myself, home place of the Arctic Monkeys and the crucible which is great for snooker :) Thanks again we really appreciate your review Kind regards Katie

Hi, Thanks so much for taking the time to post a review, we are always interested in hearing what our people are thinking as it is a way for us to learn and change if need be. It is great that you have enjoyed your time with us and review us so highly, we have worked really hard on our benefits and the company culture and beliefs and are glad this is reflected in your review. I know we are going through some changes at the moment and that can be unsettling however we have changed so much over the last two years that we needed to reassess our priorities and continue to make arm the successful and innovative company it has always been. Thanks once again for your review. Kind regards Katie

Hi, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, it is really appreciated and helps us hear the voice of our people. We work very hard on making arm a great place to work and try and give back as much as possible with lunch and learns, pizza, gyms, and some great benefits including Flexpot, so it's great that you have had a chance to use this. We are very involved with our charitable giving and team arm do a great job so great to see this is being noticed. I am sad to hear about your experience with HR, we have introduced service now which should hopefully improve this, we fully take your comments on board and will feed this back to the people team. We are always improving so hopefully you should see an improvement in this area. Thanks once again for your feedback and we will look to improve Kind regards Katie
