Pros

I started one and half years ago at ARM and I like it! The company treats engineers with high respect and offers competitive rewards and benefits. The IoT business unit I work for is doing truly full-stack development, from embedded to backend and web front and everything in-between so my skill set is almost guaranteed to stay future-proof. Competent colleagues and the office location at the very center of Oulu don't hurt either. All in all, I very much enjoy my position as Software Engineer at ARM.

Cons

The future of IoT business is uncertain, and the fast growing office brings in some challenges.

Thanks for leaving a review, and it's good to see one from our Oulu office! Engineers are the core of our company, both from a hardware and software point of view. One of our Software Directors spoke to the People team last week and gave a great analogy: "Hardware without software is just really expensive sand while software without hardware is just thought." The two must work together in order for ARM to be successful as we move forward with our goal to over 1 Trillion connected devices in the next 20 years! -Rick C.
