The work environment truly reflects our Core Beliefs, focusing on collaboration, innovation and working with the most brilliant people in the industry. As noted in other responses, we generally pay in the 75% band, which means you can expect your salary to be higher than 75% of other people with similar titles in your location. When you also factor in the annual bonus, RSUs and other benefits, ARM's total rewards package is very competitive. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
