Thanks for leaving a review! Work experience at ARM, especially as a graduate engineer, means you get really hands on and will be exposed to so much that you may feel overwhelmed at times. Regarding salary, our Rewards team have been reviewing compensation across all levels and regions. Once completed, we will adjust salaries as needed for each person based on skill level/location/market value. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

There is no doubt you'll be given real accountability in your role, and for that reason there are also plenty of opportunities to be creative. There are always opportunities to develop too, whether that be in project work, role rotations or general day to day experiences when mingling with some of the experts in the field. ARM is not the kind of place where you will be spoon fed training programmes or classes - you are expected to go after and seek out opportunities which means you're working with really motivated and talented people day in day out.

Cons

There arent really any cons except bonus payments seem to have reduced in recent years.

Thanks for leaving a review! We hire with the expectation that employees contribute fairly early on in their role, but also gives them the opportunity to develop like you mention. Career development is a major focus to keep everyone from our engineers to HR staff the ability to work on something that really interests them, part of the reason we have such low attrition rates! As for the bonus, we didn't hit our 10% bonus as in years past, but a 5% bonus is still quite nice given our stretch goals! Hopefully this year we'll be able to make our numbers! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
