Pros

I'm working in the PDG group for less than a year. 1)Nice place to work. Colleagues are very friendly. 2)Scope to learn and work on latest technologies. 3)No overburden/extreme pressure which is seen in other companies.

Cons

Compensation is not par with market leaders. Although stock bonus compensates a little towards it, it would help a lot for the management to retain their best engineers if they increase the compensation.

Thanks for leaving a review! I'm glad to read that you're enjoying your working experience at ARM, and hope that you're able to expand your engineering skillset with the PDG team. As noted in previous review responses regarding compensation, the Rewards team completed a company wide analysis, and employees should now be placed in the 75% band, meaning your base salary will be higher than 75% of your peers in the relative market (location, function). Once you factor in bonuses and the RSUs you were granted when you join the company, as well as the PTO/time off, the total compensation package is quite competitive. For employees who perform exceptionally on the rating scale, this is reflected with a 1.25x bonus increase as well as a larger annual pay increase, which helps to retain our best engineers! -Rick C.
