Glad to hear your internship experience in Chandler was a positive one. Internships are an important way to bring fresh ideas into Arm and give people the chance to learn in a fast-paced, world-leading environment. We appreciate your comment about housing costs; while that sits outside Arm’s direct control, feedback like this helps us understand the wider pressures our people may face. Thank you for recommending Arm, we want every intern to leave with new skills, valuable experience, and a sense of what it’s like to be part of extraordinary teams pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

It’s good to hear you value the work-life balance and environment in Cambridge, those are things we want every engineer to experience at Arm. We recognise your concern about salary; we aim to reward people competitively and fairly for the skills and impact they bring, so if you feel this isn’t the case we’d encourage you to speak with your manager or a member of the People team. On the software side, we’re investing heavily to strengthen our capabilities and scale up our impact. Thank you for sharing your experience and helping us keep raising the bar.

Pros

Salary is mostly competitive. Stock performing adquately.

Cons

Complete lack of technical career path. No meritocracy and a completely unethical staffing process. You get ahead by knowing people from previous companies (typically Qcom dropouts) or you hire your relatives. Catastrophically bad management within SOC teams. Nobody can put a schedule together, hold people accountable, or deliver on time. Most of the group is just freeloading. New hires have nothing to do.

We’re sorry to hear this has been your experience. Salary and stock are only part of the picture, we want people to feel they have meaningful opportunities to grow their careers at Arm, and your feedback shows we’ve fallen short for you. We take concerns about fairness and management practices seriously. If you’re comfortable, please raise the issues you’ve described with the People team or contact us directly at glassdoor@arm.com so we can look into them further. Thank you for sharing your perspective; honest feedback helps us continue to improve how we support our teams and deliver impact.
