Thanks for reflecting on your time with us in Cambridge. It’s great to hear you valued both the pay and the culture, those are areas we put a lot of focus on as we aim to attract and retain extraordinary talent. We know the campus location can feel a little outside the centre, though we try to balance that with facilities onsite and flexible working options where possible. Your feedback is appreciated and helps us keep shaping the experience of working at Arm.

Good to hear you’re finding the work at Arm fulfilling and that benefits like vacation, health insurance, hybrid working, and community stand out. We know location can make travel between offices less convenient at times, and we’ll keep looking for ways to make collaboration across sites easier. Your perspective is appreciated, and it’s encouraging to see that the overall experience is working well for you.
