Thanks for leaving a review. Looking at your review more granularly, you give us an overall rating of 3 stars, yet rate 5 stars on everything but Comp & Benefits. I'm surprised that you found the work not very exciting, as most everyone I talk with in my office travels are fairly positive on the work they are doing, especially given the challenging nature of the work. Seeing as you are no longer with ARM, I do encourage you to expand your skillset at your current place of employment and possibly come back to ARM in the future as a boomerang hire and continue to help grow the ARM Ecosystem! -Rick C.

Pros

Very international environment. You get to work with top engineers which are very engaged and enthusiastic with what they do. Good company culture. Competitive beneficts.

Cons

It is an Engish company so even it is in Sweden there is a big influence of the british working culture. So no flex-time or overtime pay.

Pros

Laid back, good atmosphere, lots of smart people

Cons

Salaries are not good enough for Cambridge (just have a look at rents/property costs), not very nice offices, ARM is cheap (on everything! but getting better), there's no much wiggle space your promotion is solely in hands of your manager if he doesn't care or doesn't like you, you are stuck, no clear and transparent rules or process on getting promotion. Internal procedures are very much corpo in quite small company (if you consider divisions/groups are basically separate entities they are couple hundreds people).

Thank you for leaving a review, as well as your more than 5 years of service at ARM! Even though the headline of the review skews negative, you do recommend the company and have a positive outlook on the company :) Glassdoor ratings are based solely on employee reviews, so it's reflective of the general sentiment from employees at ARM that leave reviews, which are generally positive. That said, it's still good to have constructive feedback such as yours to see where we still have areas to improve upon. As we continue to grow, this feedback is vitally important to ensure that the work culture we have cultivated at ARM, and in turn made us successful, continues to shine! Regarding Cambridge rents/properties, this is unfortunately out of our control. Cambridge as a whole has gotten more expensive over the last few years. Salaries are comparable to others in the area, and once you factor in the bonus structure and new launch award, the total compensation package is quite competitive. The Cambridge folks are also feeling the squeeze until the Cambridge expansion project is completed, so we'll have nicer/newer offices soon! For career development, I encourage you to talk to your line manager to discuss what you can do to advance your career. If he/she truly does not care/like you, then I would encourage discussing this with your People Business Partner as well. I also encourage you to visit the ARM Talent Development page to see what training courses for additional skills are available to you. Finally, with all of the growth we are experiencing due to the Softbank acquisition, there are a lot of open roles available, so I invite you to challenge yourself to a new role at ARM! -Rick C.
