Pros

Warm welcoming environment, extremely flexible work/life balance, challenging, exciting work, empowered to make an impact, very minimal politics, engaging and transparent senior leadership, globally connected with peers at all levels around the world, a diverse & inclusive culture, many opportunities to work on different projects and with different groups/teams, excellent rewards package, outstanding benefits - best I have ever seen, every employee globally was just given an annual $8500 gift to use towards personal development, well being and family - encouraging each of us to invest in ourselves, try that new hobby, something you've always dreamed of doing - your choice, The Austin office has an incredible farm to table café with video games, foosball, ping pong, + a Starbucks cafe, IT help bar, walking trails, soccer fields, basketball court, gym, etc. and the friendliest facilities team you'll ever find welcoming you to Arm. Smartest engineers ever, doing amazing things, and an ecosystem of working with our partners in a humble culture, which is innovative and bursting the boundaries on what's possible for our future. I could go on and on! I've seen the Cambridge office (rated #2 in the UK on Glassdoor by the way) and the San Jose office as well, and have peers in China, India, Israel, Finland, France and more and all seem to love Arm as much as I do. I'm only 4 months in, but I already know that I will grow leaps and bounds here (I already have) and that this will be my home for years to come. And this role is not my last here, there is so much opportunity to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone. I know I've made the best career decision in joining Arm and highly recommend.

Cons

Because of our partnering ecosystem we don't have our name out there as much as other technology companies, because even though Arm technology enables 99% of the mobile devices out there, we empower our partners to be successful, so it is there name on the devices. But hopefully as we build our newest org out - the IoT space - our brand will be more recognized.

Thanks for leaving a review! First, I want to to thank you for over 7 years of service at the ARM Bangalore office! That means you've been a part of ARM for over a quarter of our existence as a company! An excellent work/life balance at ARM is something we encourage all employees to strive towards, and will continue to do so, even post-Softbank acquisition. As mentioned in other reviews, the base salary is usually in the 75% band, meaning you can expect to make more than 75% of your peers in the industry and region. Once you factor in other benefits such as the annual bonus and the now former RSU program, the total rewards package is quite competitive. If you feel like the work has become repetitive and boring, please do visit the Internal Jobs board to see what roles you might want to explore, and at the very least, visit the ARM Talent Development Intranet page to see how we might be able to help improve your skill sets to advance your career! I do invite you to leave another review next year to see how things have progressed for you! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

There is a lot of very interesting work happening here. The compensation is decent, and Cambridge allows a good lifestyle.

Cons

The company is growing, but still rather small. While decent, the compensation feels weak compared to other international opportunities.
