I think one of the best things about Arm is the fact that there’s not limited set of qualities that you need to get in. If you’re doing your job well, Arm will find a way to accommodate you.Diana Senior Software Engineer
The reasons I work at Arm are for the massive impact you make on the world with technology, the awesome benefits package (next year I go on a month’s paid sabbatical) and finally the people here are just nice and super smart to work with.Ross Senior Director of Engineering Debug & Studio Tools
There’s never a dull day at Arm. I’m never working on the same project for too long which means I get to work with lots of different teams. It’s very much a fail and learn fast culture and we’ll always quickly make a call on whether we should stick with it or switch it up and try something else.Sophie Senior DevOps Engineer
Rewards and Benefits
Rewarding our employees is more than salaries, cash awards and bonus plans. It’s just as important to make sure that collaboration, innovation and support for our people as individuals is demonstrated in everything we do. We’ll provide you with benefits that will help with your health, wellness, and development. And although our packages will differ slightly depending on the job and location you’re thinking of applying to, we will make sure that you’re looked after.
We encourage our people to upskill as much as they want with a comprehensive learning and development package which includes technical development, mentoring, internal and external conferences, tech talks, and donut sessions. Whether you want to learn a new programming language, upskill your excel skills or read the latest articles on Microprocessor reporting we are with you to Spark the worlds potential.
We encourage our people to take plenty of annual leave, so they remain inspired and refreshed. But you know what really does it? When we encourage them to take an extended paid 4 weeks’ sabbatical after 4 years of service.
We treat our people as individuals rather than a resource. Because it’s important to us to be there for you during the significant moments in your life, we offer flexible progressive leave. Whether you’re growing a family, acting as a primary care giver or going through family loss, you’ll be able to put your family first when it matters the most, without career consequences.
We create a safe space for you to look after your mental and physical health, with support ranging from medical insurance to the workplace mental health platform Unmind. Alongside a growing number of onsite gyms, yoga, cycling and running clubs. This is all underpinned by a flexible working policy to ensure you can be your brilliant self at work.

Volunteering at Arm
We’ve volunteered over 67,000 hours to amazing causes. We support our people to take action on the social and environmental causes that they care most about through volunteering; we’ll even give you a paid half-day per month to do so! In addition to the wide range of causes our people support, our community engagement program focuses on removing barriers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) for young people. 95% of our people would recommend volunteering, which has been shown to improve connections and professional skills.
