Thanks for leaving a review! Our employees are what make ARM so great, and we're continually investing in the resources needed to keep it a great place to work. We've grown rapidly in the last few years, and had some growing pains with regards to processes and infrastructure, though we're working to improve on that as quickly as possible. The new ARM building in Cambridge should be breaking ground early in 2016 which when completed, should give everyone there a bit more elbow room. Hopefully with the investments we've made in our employees will help improve delivery dates as well! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

Your colleagues tend to be incredibly smart people, the work is interesting and you get a definite sense that it'll have a meaningful impact on the world. Consequently, the company treats you extremely well - it held a global conference for graduates recently with all recent graduates from around the world meeting up, which was fun and informative. You're also expected to be proactive and think about ways to innovate in everything you do. Senior management are very friendly and approachable and do keep an eye on everything that's going on. Our division's GM in particular was well-known for going around the office personally to hear from the engineers and collect their feedback. You also get a distinct sense that it's genuinely run by engineers rather than the traditional business types. A lot of sales and marketing people were originally engineers, one of the lawyers was a software engineer who then retrained, and a lot of the C-suite (including the CEO) also have engineering backgrounds. It makes a big difference to the culture of the company; while it's raking in plenty of profit, you never feel that they're single-mindedly focused on chasing profits and satisfying shareholders.

Cons

Bureaucracy has increased somewhat as a consequence of becoming a large company. Still better than other companies in the same industry and of similar size though. Pay is not the best in the industry, but for me this is easily made up by the other benefits (RSUs, cash bonus, private health/travel insurance, pension scheme), the work/life balance and flexibility, and the fact that working at ARM will improve your future career prospects. Most importantly, you won't have to live in London!

Good place to work and learn. Average salary, but lot of perks. Funny place to work.

It starts getting bigger, we all hope it does not get the bad habits of big companies.

Thanks for leaving a review! As we have grown, we have had to implement certain processes that not everyone has agreed with, though is needed for a larger organization to function efficiently. We are very cognizant of retaining what made ARM a great place to work over the years - intelligent, helpful people that are focused on the bigger picture, which is to develop technology that brings new possibilities to a globally connected population. -Rick C.
