Meet Omar Al Khatib, a university student who has joined Arm’s Graduate Program.

Why did you choose to join Arm?

Arm has a very big presence at Imperial College London, where I studied, and so I always knew of Arm and what kind of work they do. It really caught my eye after an employee did a talk during a campus event and I knew after that Arm was somewhere I wanted to work.

What were your first impressions of Arm?

I didn’t realise just how impactful the work Arm does was until I joined. We get to not only work on the technology, but then see it being used everywhere and it is so rewarding. At the start my team made sure I settled in well, I never once felt like a stranger or alone, it was all so supportive – and the office tours were amazing. It’s a big place with a small friendly feeling and it makes working there so much nicer, everyone speaks to you, and everyone genuinely wants you to succeed.

How does it feel to contribute to the development of such cutting-edge technology?

It feels great to know you are at the centre of building technology that will benefit the whole world, especially this early on in my career. There are so many opportunities to get involved with not only that work, but other events happening in the office, so you can network so easily. Arm has a great balance of independence and teamwork, and I can feel how much I have stepped into my own here and I know I have already learnt so much, but that’s Arm. It’s a really positive working culture.

Why did you choose to join Arm?

I found out about Arm on LinkedIn, and it seemed to have unique roles that offered an exciting change to what I was used to. The community feel at Arm and their collaboration globally was a big selling point for internships.

What were your first impressions of Arm?

It has all been very impressive. When I first joined, everyone was so helpful and really pointed me in the right direction. New ideas are constantly flowing through the teams. I just felt as though I could and can still talk to anyone about anything. The Cambridge office is amazing as well! The workspaces are unlike anything I’ve seen, and the food selection caters to vegetarians which is a bonus.

How does it feel to contribute to the development of such cutting-edge technology?

As an intern, I feel as though you build such a level of trust with your team and it has been non-stop learning, either through work or through training courses. I’ve only worked at ARM for a number of months and already my work can be seen on the ARM website which is really exciting. Whenever I think about my future now, Arm is very much in that picture.

Why did you choose to join Arm?

I studied at the University of Southampton, and I remember Arm being a part of the careers fair and so after speaking to the team I knew it was something I wanted to be involved in, especially being so interested in Chip design. After doing some research I found that Arm had such versatility in roles, which is good as a graduate since I get the opportunity to move around roles, and the work-life balance was better than I could have ever expected.

What were your first impressions of Arm?

I couldn’t believe how friendly the staff were, even before I was hired. During interviews they did everything they could to settle my anxieties. When I joined the team, you could tell they actually cared about me, not just my work, and so I knew Arm was the right fit for me then. The Cambridge office’s architecture is amazing and there are so many hidden gems within, like the gym and physio rooms that really help me out.

How does it feel to contribute to the development of such cutting-edge technology?

It feels amazing to see all the different teams coming together on such a large scale. Seeing a product I contributed to in people’s hands is something indescribable, and it’s Arm that gives me those opportunities. People are there for you every step of the way, it’s a kind of attention and care that doesn’t exist anywhere else.
