Business Outlook

Pros

I'm working in the PDG group for less than a year. 1)Nice place to work. Colleagues are very friendly. 2)Scope to learn and work on latest technologies. 3)No overburden/extreme pressure which is seen in other companies.

Cons

Compensation is not par with market leaders. Although stock bonus compensates a little towards it, it would help a lot for the management to retain their best engineers if they increase the compensation.

Thanks for leaving a review! I'm glad to read that you're enjoying your working experience at ARM, and hope that you're able to expand your engineering skillset with the PDG team. As noted in previous review responses regarding compensation, the Rewards team completed a company wide analysis, and employees should now be placed in the 75% band, meaning your base salary will be higher than 75% of your peers in the relative market (location, function). Once you factor in bonuses and the RSUs you were granted when you join the company, as well as the PTO/time off, the total compensation package is quite competitive. For employees who perform exceptionally on the rating scale, this is reflected with a 1.25x bonus increase as well as a larger annual pay increase, which helps to retain our best engineers! -Rick C.

Pros

Flexible work hours On-site gym at Cambridge Good work-life balance

Cons

Pay can be higher, especially given the house prices and rental prices in Cambridge. Finding a parking space is a problem at the main campus.

Thanks for leaving a review! We pride ourselves on having a fantastic work-life balance, being flexible with time and placing trust in our employees to get the job done. Housing and rental prices are unfortunatenly items out of our control, though we do offer a competitive salary compared to other companies in Cambridge. As for parking, hopefully this will be resolved once the new campus is completed, though that will not be until sometime in 2017. You can also look into the ride-sharing option with other ARM colleagues that can also help you save some money on petrol! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
