Pros

1. open work culture : Everyone work in cubicles and accessible . You can just walk and have discussion. 2. Profitable business model 3. Potential of good projects 4. Work life balance 5. global exposure

Cons

1. Food : Food is big concern and no action has been taken by company .Feedback register in cafeteria it is filled about this. and these reviews are coming for long time . Here on glassdoor also in some reviews people have mentioned about food quality and that was also 4 months back This may not concern married people who bring their lunch-box from home. 2. Timing : Second thing is timing . Senior management don't follow the rule regarding timing but expects from you to spend 8-9 hours in company even there is no work. Many times you don't know that the senior person is WFH or leave. They don't even care to drop a mail. 3. Salary Salary is competitive . But since food and timing are also issues . This point take driving seat ARM is not highest payer in market . People put extra efforts and start to find opportunities with other market leaders where they are paid way above ARM and it is not that difficult for talented software engineers. 4. HR team : HR team just completes formalities. They take so much time to make final offer to a candidate even after clearance from managers that he/she finds other job offer in that time period. Feedbacks are just for that employee can feel that he is being heard . HR and facility teams highly lack motivation to do good work . Maybe ARM is not paying them good enough. With current state of things you can survive in market but never can be a leader.

Thanks for leaving a review, and from reading it, I will assume you were an intern! We encourage a healthy work-life balance for our employees, as being refreshed and rested allows workers to be more productive. The base salary may seem lower when comparing salaries to the industry standard, but when you factor in the RSUs, bonuses and holidays/PTO, the total compensation package is quite competitive. Team communication is a focus area we are addressing not just in the Bangalore office, but globally. As a company grows and quickly scales as much as ARM has, communication gets more difficult. We do hope that you return for another internship or for a graduate role once you finish your studies! Thanks, -Rick C.

Pros

Chance to work with best in class engineers, global exposure

Cons

It's sorry state of affairs that we see lot of feedback on external sites like glass door , rather than being managed using internal annual surveys/AFDS/etc . We used to see good survey results, glass door reflects the other side of the picture. This shows all exists for sake of process and ground reality is different.

Thanks for leaving a review and your over 5 years of service to ARM! We have seen an increase of reviews on Glassdoor from our Bangalore office recently, and they have been escalated to be reviewed by the local People team manager Nupur as well as Guru, as this feedback is very important to us. Many employees feel/believe that the Engagement surveys are not anonymous (they are), so they provide they don't provide feedback via that platform. For AFDS, employees may fear retribution from managers if they provide negative feedback, so they come to Glassdoor as it provides anonymity. Any company would be happier to read positive reviews, though we also welcome negative feedback if it helps to improve the work environment for the better. As you can leave a review once a year, we hope to see that you leave a more positive review next year! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
