Pros

I've been working at Arm for about a year now. I've been given the opportunities needed to make significant contributions to the projects I've been involved in. Everyone in the office is friendly. The hours you are in the office are quite flexible. The building is great and is located 30 minutes from downtown Cambridge/Boston.

Cons

The Boston (Waltham) office is a bit of a satellite office (~50 employees), so that could be a downside depending on what sort of workplace you prefer. There are fewer female employees working here than I would like to expect (~15% of total).

Thank you for taking the time to review your working environment in Boston – it’s important we hear from everyone. We couldn’t agree with you more on the gender diversity point – globally it’s an industry-wide challenge. The good news is, we are committed to ensuring Arm is both a diverse and inclusive workplace for everyone. As a result of this commitment 36% of all new starters in the USA so far this fiscal are women. We continue to focus on attraction and retention initiatives in support of this. Recently, one of our female Senior Software Engineers from Arm Boston joined us at the Grace Hopper Conference in Florida – supporting our attraction efforts. We are also working together on an internal engagement programme to support the active Women’s Network and build on our Inclusion Matters Programme, where we provide unconscious bias training. Whilst we have a great ambassador network, we are always keen to have others join us. We are all responsible for contributing to an inclusive and diverse working environment- If you’d like to learn more about how you can contribute, please take a look at the Community and Inclusion posts on Yammer for more details :)

Pros

Went here because of package offered, wish i hadn't now.

Cons

Restructured during Corona-virus lock-down, very cunning. Would not furlough staff, made them redundant instead, in secret.

These changes were organizational changes driven by the business and were well underway before COVID19 came to light. We realise that this is a difficult time for all involved and are working very closely with each individual directly involved to address their needs and support them as best we can.

Pros

Nice offices and perks, decent bonus structure and benefits

Cons

If your face doesn’t fit then you may as well keep your CV updated and be ready to move on. Bullying and victimisation is rife, senior management overlook this if it’s in their interests. Don’t bother having integrity, it will get you nowhere. Be prepared to be a ‘yes’ man or don’t let the door hit you on the way out Toxic and would destroying environment with no support for mental health

We thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. One of our core values is 'Be Your Brilliant Self' and we are sorry to read it doesn’t seem you felt empowered to be ‘you’ whilst working here at Arm. We take mental wellness very seriously. Last week to coincide with World Mental Health Day, we issued free membership to all of our people globally, access to the UNMIND app. This is a proactive and preventative approach to mental health using clinically backed tools, training and assessments on an app. This is one of the many examples of how committed we are to the wellbeing of our people at Arm. Your experience wasn't one we would have expected here at Arm. For that reason, I would like to speak with you directly in order to understand a little more about the circumstances. As I cannot see your location listed to put you in touch with the right Regional Employee Experience Contact, but please reach out to me personally on Aylin.Halil@arm.com where I will happily support.
