Thanks for leaving a review! ARM employee salaries are generally in the 75% band, which means that of people in your industry and position, your salary will typically be more than 75% of that population. Once you factor in the additional benefits that ARM employees receive (Bonuses, Partner Awards, generous PTO, volunteering time off, etc.), the total compensation package is quite competitive with any company on the market. We constantly review salary benchmarks to ensure that our employees are in line with the market compensation rate. -Rick C. Employer Branding and Social Media Specialist

Pros

Very professional team. Product quality treated very seriously! Interesting projects around the highest technology. Great benefits.

Cons

Tight schedules and very short delivery time. Salary in Cambridge a bit inappropriate to costs of living.

Thanks for leaving a review! We feel we have some of the smartest minds in the industry helping drive the Internet of Things, especially as we move towards our goal of 1 Trillion connected devices in the next twenty years. With Softbank's commitment to double employee headcount in the UK, hopefully that should alleviate some of the pressures of time tables and deliverables as we accelerate our growth. As for Cambridge itself, that is an issue that everyone in the area feels, and unfortunately something out of our control. From an article in the Cambridge News, "Councillor Kevin Price, Cambridge City Council executive councillor for housing, said the last 10 years had seen "very significant" house price inflation in Cambridge, with properties costing 75.3% more in 2016 than they did in 2006, and housing affordability in relation to average wages at an all-time high." ARM salaries are competitive against other similar companies/roles in the area, though even that falls short of the growth of the housing market in Cambridge. -Rick C.

Pros

ARM is a decent place to work but also depend on current and future to growth team.

Cons

ARM in Austin, Tx staffing are the worst that we are experience in. Most of the recruiters are NON-experience with recruiting, but somehow they end up at ARM in Austin. Most of our referral candidates got called from ARM staffing and their feedback to me are not impressed at all to ARM recruiters from (asked stupid and non intelligent questions, missed appointment with candidate, but when on the phone seems like ARM staffing was driving during conversation as well as dog barking on background). Our referral not impress at ARM staffing of its current process.

Hello. I am saddened by your approach. Perhaps you spoke to your colleagues directly and did not get an adequate reply? We do have a number of avenues for you to raise these concerns. The recruiters we have on our team in Austin all have multiple years of prior professional recruiting experience. I am sorry to hear that a phone interview may have been missed or re-scheduled, or that a call may have been made while driving. Honestly, as I see the team working an average of 60 hours per week to keep up with our extraordinary growth, I am empathetic to the life-issues that interfere with a smooth process. But we do all want a better impression to our candidates. I am encouraged that through surveys received from over 200 candidates last year, 80% were either satisfied or completely satisfied with the recruiting process at ARM. Our goal is to get that to 90% or better in 2017, and I'd love it if you can help with that! I invite you to grab some time with me soon to discuss your ideas so we can partner effectively to continue shaping the extraordinary at ARM. I hope you are equally committed to that goal.
