Pros

Arm spends a lot of effort to make people believe it is a great company to work for ......, and it is true when talking about benefits, many people enjoy it.

Cons

Working in the IP division is not a good idea though.Too much politic with the company growing, more and more management positions and less "working engineers". Inverted pyramid. Dictatorship from the 2 gurus will prevent any innovation and get you fired if you dare questioning.

Thanks for leaving a review, as well as your advice. Our Annual ARM Employee Engagement survey, which is anonymous, is one option for employees to provide feedback or raise any concerns they may have. Since this only occurs once a year, we're also now actively encouraging employees to leave reviews on Glassdoor so we can adjust slightly and quickly multiple times a year as needed as opposed to drastically change course once a year. Thanks, -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

Good when it comes to family stuff, like unplanned events or appointments. Quite flexible that way. Salaries used to be very competitive, but not sure anymore since inflation is so high and nothing has been done to raise pay.

Cons

Not the company that it was. Culture has gone downhill in the last 5 years big time. Becoming more and more soulless and corporate. Rewards being cut with no replacement, lack of communication from senior staff, record breaking years year after year but nothing to show for it. Such a shame. Trying to make people come to the office even if your job doesn’t require person to person collaboration…

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear that you feel Arm’s culture isn’t what it was and it would be really helpful if we could get more insight on this from you. If you are happy to share with us, please contact Glassdoorfeedback@arm.com . 91% of people who completed our latest employee survey (75% of everyone in Arm) said they were proud to work for Arm, and our Core Beliefs (We not I, Be your brilliant self and Do great things) play a huge part in that and our culture – we expect everyone to live by them. In terms of reward, people do share in the success of Arm through our reward structure, and our commitment is to reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm. Finally, we have a hybrid approach to being in the office. We see real value in bringing our people together in-person, and, as our CEO recently said, to retain our culture we need strong relationships, connections and community. However we know that some tasks are easier to do remotely, so we encourage a flexible approach, where people can work remotely when needed but also come into the office to build community, problem solve and learn from each other.

Pros

Used to be decent enough

Cons

I have never seen a company run itself so completely through a blender. Lay off after lay off after layoff Latest rounds cut very deeply All the best people left immediately when they could, the talent is long gone People left behind are not the best No ability to identify talent and retain or develop it Imported very nasty external executives with little or no understanding of business Donated all their best talent to direct competitors via complete incompetence Zero appreciation, recognition or reward for outgoing employees who contributed tremendously, not even a “thanks” Not sure how the cultural damage can ever be undone
