The Role
For being one of the first internships I have had, ARM has been a joy to work for. Really good opportunity to be a part of such an interesting company.
I feel like I have been working with my team for years, and that they rely on me and I can rely on them.
Any questions I needed answering; they were there ready. Really supportive and helpful in building on my skills.
A good pace of busy and calm moments throughout the day.
It built up slowly, so that it the pressure was not overwhelming but still challenging.
It will go beyond my degree studies completely, these will be skills for life as I continue my future career in a similar field.
The Company
Relaxing and calm; just how I like it.
Pretty well done, no problems for me.
My team help with the training as well as I have the opportunity to train myself.

No idea yet. Plus not thought that far ahead.
The Culture
No really the most social person myself but so far its been good.
I live in a shared house so it has not been too expensive.
Pretty good, depending on what you want to do.
I am looking into that currently.
