Pros

The pay is good. The company has a lot of potential.

Cons

It's frustrating to work here. If technical debt was a culture... There is an extreme resistance to change throughout engineering. If something didn't work 5 or 10 years ago then it surely won't work today. There are rarely any "perks". Company swag is extremely rare. I don't understand it.

We’re sorry your experience in Raleigh hasn’t reflected the environment we aim to create. Arm’s engineers play a vital role in shaping the future of computing, and we want people to feel empowered to challenge legacy systems and drive improvement. We recognise that large, fast-moving organisations can sometimes make change feel slow, and we’re working to simplify structures and remove barriers that get in the way of progress. Your comments on culture and engagement are valued; we encourage you to connect with your manager or the People team so we can understand more and act on it.
