Arm reviews

The Austin design center is relatively small, although growing. That limits the possibilities for career growth and professional development. There just isn't much need for technical leads when a design center only has 1 or 1.5 projects going on at a time. The "cutoff" for design and implementation engineers is grade 6, the cutoff for verification engineers is 5. This discrepancy between teams is something to keep in mind if you are looking for a verification position in Austin. I can't speak to design centers in other areas of the world.

-Non-engineering groups have been cut right back to the bone - people are overworked and stressed out. Preventable mistakes happen quite often. -Exec level leaders are all in the US and are all relatively new to the company - there is no connection with or understanding of (UK) company culture and history. -Culture has gone downhill alarmingly fast in the last few years - there are lots of very poor people managers, with no empathy or people skills. -Complaints and whistle blowing about terrible managers are routinely ignored or covered up.
