Pros

Good benefits - free medical/dental/vision, 401K match, good RSU grants, and bonus plan Decent salary Good vacation plan if you can take it.

Cons

IP group is in shambles. Management has no vision and very limited knowledge. Dictatorship and if you don't fall in line you will get bad reviews. Very poor management skills. No one cares about the employees. Highly unprofessional environment. Most of the engineers don't know anything.

Thanks for leaving a review. The majority of the reviews on Glassdoor have been positive, though not everyone will have the same experience. That said, the job experience you describe is not one I have heard in my time here at ARM. ARM benefits are quite generous as you mentioned, and we have a new reward structure in place with our acquisition from Softbank, due to the fact that we no longer have stock to give out as reward for performance. The company is built on meritocracy, with job assignments based on ability and talent. If you did not feel that you were treated fairly while at ARM, then my recommendation would have been to first consult with your line manager on your career progress. If the line manager is why you felt you were treated unfairly, then I would have recommended you connect with the People Business Partner, as they are there to help ensure that each group operates effectively and efficiently. To your comment on the IP group in shambles, with no vision/limited knowledge from Management, we recently restructured the organization in to two distinct groups: IPG, which focuses on the licenses technology we provide to semiconductor companies and ISG the ​IoT Services Group, which operates security and management services for connected devices. We did this so as to focus on growing the business to reach our desired goal of have 1 trillion connected devices in the next 20 years. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

Lots of perks with bonus, good incentives such as flex pot (£4K on personal wellbeing and development) however this is no longer offered at Arm.

Cons

Unless you’re in with the senior managers you have zero chance of being noticed and rewarded for the work you do. Lots of politics with middle managers who have poor productivity seeming to get promoted or moved around rather than addressing the problems head on. Lots of chaos and confusion over who is doing what. It’s a shame as it wasn’t always like this.
