Pros

Very interesting work. Very good work atmosphere. Lots of colleagues who know more than you.

Cons

Very little support for partners of engineers. It's awfully difficult for a foreigner to get a job in Trondheim unless you are an engineer. Spouses have a *very* hard time in Trondheim. And speaking Norwegian fluently is just one of the many hurdles they must face in order to get a job. Quite a few foreign engineers have had to go back to their countries because of this.

Pros

ARM has a great rotation program for new grads. You get to rotate to several different teams and understand more parts of the business so that you end up a better engineer. They're small enough to where you can know most of the business and move around. Its a good environment. There is an urgency to work done, but the office is relaxed.

Cons

Employee diversity is low (in terms of gender, race, and lifestyle)

Thanks for leaving a review! For the graduates that join into a graduate rotation program, it is designed to give them the opportunity to learn about different teams that comprise ARM. The goal is for you to become a well-rounded engineer, and then you can choose which team you liked best to continue on in your career! Like many tech companies, employee diversity can be an issue. We are committed to equal opportunities for all candidates, regardless of gender, race or lifestyle and are working on initiatives to increase diversity across the board. We're also supporting STEM education, partnering with the BBC to provide micro:bit computers to all year 7 students in the UK, and stimulating the next generation of engineers. If you have some ideas on how we can improve, we encourage you to speak to your HR business partner, and see how you can get involved! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Thanks for leaving a review. Transparency and communication are only some of the values we pride ourselves on. Everyone genuinely is open to helping each other to help the company grow! Regarding flexible work, that is usually decided upon with each employee's line manager, so experiences will vary from employee to employee. We recently implmented a new AFDS log book, which allows more frequent communication between employee and manager. With more frequent communication, this allows trust to be built, which hopefully would lead to more flexibile work schedules. Thanks, -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
