Pros

ARM is growing fast and there is lots of opportunity for on job development. With the Softbank acquisition the plan is to double the headcount in a relatively small timeframe.

Cons

There is not much support for more formal training and things aren't actually what you would expect from a high tech company.

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.

Good but not getting better.

Pros

Good opportunities to do some interesting work. Great people who give their best all the time under stressful conditions at times. Company is going through a growth period and appears to be making efforts to nurture it's people. Reasonable working environement. Great local community improvement schemes and charity support.

Cons

Compensation is not so competitive anymore. Bonuses are OK but not reflective of hard work put in to achieve them. Starting to feel less like an engineering company. With the constant focus on cost reductions the value of some engineering has been degraded or cast aside. In the past this work has enabled better quality products & experiences for customers. We're in danger of becoming short sighted and losing the bigger picture.

Thanks for leaving a review, and for your over 10 years of service! Like you mentioned, the company has grown quite substantially and quickly over the last few years and we do need to be cognizant of what got ARM to where it is today - the engineers. We are putting in processes in place to ensure that the company continues to grow while making the work environment an enjoyable one. In regards to 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 RSUs, the total compensation package is quite competitive. Do know that I do pass on the feedback from Glassdoor reviews to the People leadership team, which are factored in along with the ARM Employee Engagement survey to determine where we may need to address certain issues. We would love to hear your feedback again (employees can leave a review once a year) next year to see if we have improved, or still need to improve! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
