Pros

Good Graduate Training Program. Very much focused on research and development so the work can be very interesting. People from diverse locations around the world so has a global feel to the organization. You are working with some of the smartest people in the industry.

Cons

Reactive management so feels like they following trends of leading players in the industry rather than setting them. Very poor diversity in terms of the senior positions in engineering and management in the company.

Thanks for leaving a review and your over 5 years of contributions to Arm. Our Graduate rotation program allows recent grads to gain experience in a variety of teams over a set time frame. With the diverse amount of work experience, grads can then choose which team suits their interests best while also better understanding how each department contributes to the Arm ecosystem. As with any growing company, we always have room for improvement. That goes from the support and infrastructure to the diversity of people in senior engineering and management positions at Arm. No company is perfect, but we have made a number of hires in our higher grades that promotes a more diverse work environment while at the same time investing in the development of Arm employees via the Talent Development team. Events like the Arm Leadership Conference is also an opportunity to recognize and promote high performing employees in to key leadership roles. I do invite you to continue to share your thoughts and leave another review in a year to see how things have improved. If you would like to learn more about our D&I initiatives, please visit the D&I intranet page and connect with the key leaders who are helping shape Diversity at Arm. -Rick C.

Thanks for leaving a review! We highly encourage a flexible work environment, and have run a trial with a specific team on how we can encourage more of our employees to think outside the mindset of the traditional 8-5 work day. The results were quite interesting, and are available for review on the company intranet! In regards to salary/benefits, most people tend to look at the base salary when doing a comparison. However, once you factor in the various benefits that ARM provides (Annual Bonus, Launch Award, Partner Award, generous PTO, volunteer time off, health insurance, etc.) the total compensation is quite competitive! I do also encourage you to take advantage of the other benefits ARM provides, such as the Talent Development options all employees have access to, so that way you can further develop your skillset and advance in your career. -Rick C.

Pros

ARM has an open and transparent culture from the top at the management level and down to employees. Good communication within the company. It is a global company with presence in many placed in the world. The company is still growing. It provides good employee benefit in vacation and 401K matching.

Cons

The company culture is conservative so making changes can be very slow and frustrating. It is unwilling to take some risk. The internal career movement can be difficult due to limited internal career support. It does not have a good education support program for the employees. The internal organization changes very frequently in the last 2 years.
