Pros

Great opportunity to work on hi-tech enginnering projects, challenge yourself and learn new things. Be ready to step out of your comfort zone ( yes this is also positive)

Cons

I cant think of anything negative which only affects Arm. Maybe as ARM is a big company sometimes it is difficul to know what colleagues are working on silimilar things as you. But I guess this is a common problem in all large companies.

Thanks for leaving a review! It's definitely very exciting times at ARM! We're very fortunate that ARM technology is embedded in to almost everything electronic, which means the work we do has a real chance to impact people's lives in a very meaningful way. The idea of Latin American offices are definitely I'd love to see! Muy bueno! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

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. As noted in previous review responses, we have noticed the increase of reviews from the Bangalore office. All reviews are being reviewed by the regional People team Manager as well Guru to see where we need to address the issues these reviews are bringing to light. In regards to salary, a complete review was done last year to address regions/groups, with salary adjustments as needed. All employees should now be in the 75% band, which means that you salary will be higher than 75% of other people with similar titles/functions in your region. Once you factor in bonuses as well as the RSUs, the total compensation is quite competitive! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
