Hear from two Arm employees who open up about their career growth with Arm:
In an increasingly connected world, it’s the fresh ideas of graduates and people early in their careers that help us shape these technologies. Which is why we’re looking for people with the greatest potential to join us.
Collaborating with experts means you’ll learn critical skills on the job. Working with your line manager will enable you to select activities which are tailored to fit your individual development needs.
Arm is the place where talented engineers and IT specialists come to build their careers. We’ll enable you to transfer your passion into engineering and IT excellence through our structured two-year development journey, while you simultaneously take on real and challenging work.
We know that many students want to continue their research work after their education. That’s why every year we hire many PhD students into our Research group. Because of the diversity of our research portfolio we look to hire subject-matter PhD experts who will inspire the next generation of technology.
Whether you're interested in gaining experience in our engineering or corporate groups, we recruit students into our internship program at all stages of university education.
The kinds of students who thrive at Arm take their love of learning beyond their experience of formal education and develop ideas in their own time. This is the energy that interests us.
The Arm experience involves learning a lot from the best, very quickly. Interns put theory into practice through exciting, intellectually challenging, real-world projects that enrich your personal and technical development while enhancing your future career opportunities.
Our global intern program is specifically designed to build key skills during your time with us – and for your time at university. You'll have constant expert support and the opportunity to attend tailored training sessions. You'll also be offered a rich range of social experiences which you'll find invaluable for network building.
Your journey need not end once you've completed your internship – you'll have the opportunity to spread the Arm message as part of our campus teams. A large number of our interns also go on to join us as graduates as part of our commitment to developing the talent of the future.
Hear from some of our 2014 Interns on their experience:
Arm is a home for smart and ambitious people who want to work on the kind of challenging projects that transform the industry. We offer summer and industrial placements every year across the business to help find our next generation of engineers. Students perform work that is valuable and necessary to our success and at the same time they build key skills for future employment – all while working in dedicated, creative and collaborative environment.
Arm offers salaries that are competitive in local markets. Base salaries are enhanced by Launch and Partner awards, which contribute to each employee's total compensation package.
In addition to the standard annual leave entitlement (varying from location to location), employees are given a paid sabbatical of one month every four years. Employees are allowed to use the sabbatical for whatever they choose. So, if you want to broaden your mind through travel or simply just spend some more time with your family and friends, we allow you the time to have those experiences. We believe a happy individual will be successful and motivated within the workplace.
As a leader in our field, Arm is somewhere you can expect to stretch yourself intellectually through challenging work. To stay ahead of the competition we all need to learn and develop continuously. To support this lifelong education, we provide a variety of on the job and formal training opportunities, aiming to promote and enable the development of everyone.
We take employee health and well-being extremely seriously. No matter where they are in the world, we’ll provide a number of benefits focused on promoting and maintaining the health of employees – sometimes extending those benefits to employees’ families.
We offer a comprehensive benefits package, with particular emphasis on equity as well as a strong focus on personal development. We want to work with smart people – people who want to improve, be challenged, transform the future of the digital world, and share our passion and the benefits of our work to all.
Unique benefits, such as a paid sabbatical every four years, are our way of giving back to staff and rewarding them for their hard work. With innovation at the core of the business, individuals who perform to a consistently high level are recognized and rewarded accordingly – through, for example, patent and white paper awards. Our unique team-based culture drives collaboration and fosters individual contribution in an excellent working environment.
The benefits that we offer may vary from country to country.

I have been working at Arm full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- Very nice people to work with, mostly with a good sense of community
- Visa sponsorship and relocation support was a big deal for me
- They gave me an amazing computer to work on (P720 ThinkStation)
- Plenty of freedom to work
- No hassle with the time you arrive or go home as long as you put the hours
- There are cases of colleagues that are long time stablished company employees that work from home and others that want to move to another city the company is in and they allow it
- There are cash bonuses, but that's like several different bonuses that get combined at different times of the year
- Quiet and relaxed workplace. No dress code (except for meetings or events).
- Free bus to work from certain places
- Generous FlexPot to allow you to spend money on personal wellbeing and then they reinburse you the expense (good for non work related courses and books, sports equipement, etc.)
- They did an amazing job with day one induction (most of the first day they talk about the company and the culture and organization)
Cons
- The company is big, sometimes it takes some work to understand my own role in such a huge, fast growing company. Fortunately, the people that works with me are pretty well organized.
- Getting up to speed technically in your work might take some time (don´t worry, they know that and give you time, but one cannot help but feel a bit of impostor syndrome when they treat you that well)
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work.
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Glasgow, Scotland).
Interview
Relaxed and laid back. Made me feel at ease throughout the full process. Consisted of one telephone, two face to face interviews and a technical do at home test. You had around a week to complete the technical test.
