Pros

ARM is at the heart of the digital world, and working here provides opportunities to shape that world. We are growing fast and have huge prospects in the future of IoT. The base pay is competitive among industry leaders, and vacation time and other benefits leave nothing to complain about with regards to compensation.

Cons

If you are looking to "climb the ladder" go somewhere else. ARM allows the best people to do what they do best.

Pros

Not a giant workforce but still massive impact on the industry. Good work life balance. Pay is decent. Innovative place to work at.

Cons

Pay may not be at par with other companies out there. Sometimes lacking in providing competitive environment to employees and therefore less attractive to graduates from top universities.

Pros

I'm working in the PDG group for less than a year. 1)Nice place to work. Colleagues are very friendly. 2)Scope to learn and work on latest technologies. 3)No overburden/extreme pressure which is seen in other companies.

Cons

Compensation is not par with market leaders. Although stock bonus compensates a little towards it, it would help a lot for the management to retain their best engineers if they increase the compensation.

Thanks for leaving a review! I'm glad to read that you're enjoying your working experience at ARM, and hope that you're able to expand your engineering skillset with the PDG team. As noted in previous review responses regarding compensation, the Rewards team completed a company wide analysis, and employees should now be placed in the 75% band, meaning your base salary will be higher than 75% of your peers in the relative market (location, function). Once you factor in bonuses and the RSUs you were granted when you join the company, as well as the PTO/time off, the total compensation package is quite competitive. For employees who perform exceptionally on the rating scale, this is reflected with a 1.25x bonus increase as well as a larger annual pay increase, which helps to retain our best engineers! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
