Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Day-to-day work involves addressing defects in the technical documentation for microprocessor architecture discovered by either the architects or by tech company correspondents. The smallest tasks can be simple logical changes and the bigger ones can be reprogramming or reformatting large sections of the complex database and xml.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

After about a week of training and smaller tasks, you are fully treated as part of the team with individual projects, expected meeting attendance and collaboration with others.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Arm to a friend?

Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to Arm

There is a high intake of interns as the company is very large and spans many departments for both hardware and software as well as things like marketing - pick the field you are interested in (or multiple) and don't worry too much about the interview, as it is very conversational and low-pressure.
