Pros

Great opportunity to work on hi-tech enginnering projects, challenge yourself and learn new things. Be ready to step out of your comfort zone ( yes this is also positive)

Cons

I cant think of anything negative which only affects Arm. Maybe as ARM is a big company sometimes it is difficul to know what colleagues are working on silimilar things as you. But I guess this is a common problem in all large companies.

Thanks for leaving a review! It's definitely very exciting times at ARM! We're very fortunate that ARM technology is embedded in to almost everything electronic, which means the work we do has a real chance to impact people's lives in a very meaningful way. The idea of Latin American offices are definitely I'd love to see! Muy bueno! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
