Pros

ARM takes great care of their employees. It is a laid back, open atmosphere, and I absolutely love working here.

Cons

The worst part about working at ARM has nothing to do with the company, but most people outside of tech don't know who we are, even though our tech is so pervasive.

Thanks for leaving a review! We're really happy to read that you're enjoying your internship with ARM, and hope to see you as a full time employee in one of our many Graduate positions once you have finished your studies. You're absolutely right that not many people outside of tech will know who we are, and we're hoping to change that! Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and even Glassdoor are helping to raise ARM's brand awareness, but as we hire more and more staff, the hope is that they'll be proud to tell their friends and family what a great company ARM is to work for. -Rick C.

Pros

Great people. Fantastic opportunities. Leading edge technology. One of the few UK high tech companies with truly global influence.

Cons

Pay could do to catch up. The company is very focused on technical contribution. If your job is not technical, you could be fired in a flash.

Thanks for leaving a review. While it is true that ARM is very focused on technical contribution (over 70% of the company are engineers), the non-technical jobs are just as important as we look to grow the company even more than we have in the last few years. Regarding pay, the Rewards team is reviewing current salaries globally across all departments and grades, and will adjust reward/compensation as needed once we are have finished our evaluation. This was also mentioned in the quarterly results meeting if you were able to attended one of the sessions in the office. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

Good vacation policy. Stress is on working smart than working long hours.

Cons

Health insurance is less competitive compared to competition.

Arm Response

Thanks for leaving a review! We're hoping that with a great vacation policy and less stress on working long hours, that it will lead to healthier, happier employees! That being said, a competitive health insurance is still needed for those unexpected times. If you do have any feedback regarding our health insurance program, please contact your regional HR benefits coordinator, as they do take in all feedback in selecting programs whenever it comes time to choose a new program. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager.
