      Pros

      ARM is a good company in terms of employee friendly policies. It used to be better 5 years back. Pay is reasonably well. Provision of sabbatical is a blessing for the employee. Communication from the top management on company's progress has improved in the last few years. New tools for talent management, development is very handy to people leaders and managers.

      Cons

      My feedback is only related to PDG, that too for PDG leadership team. PDG management failed to implement people related policies in my case. I have become sick and got NI in the recent performance review. I have fulfilled all my obligations as a group manager and none of my objectives is not completed. Manager didn't give any valid reasons. Also without any intimation & discussion with me, my manager changed my role & designation. This came as a mail to general public and i came to know from that. After this i have resigned and my manager never responded to my resignation mail. Also he went & changed my designation in SAP after my resignation email. I have worked for 10.5 years for ARM and i was the first person to join & start my group in Bangalore. Last 10 years all my performance reviews were always Good or Excellent. Some one may be surprised why i am writing this feedback, rather than go thro' whistle blow process. I didnt have physical strength then to fight it back and lost trust in ARM value system. However my group took up the case and fought with the management but it was brushed it off. I was very much disappointed with PDG management for this unfair treatment, not treating as a human being. I am giving this feedback so that leaders behave as leaders not as arrogant dictators.

      Pros

      Good benefits offered by the company with an attractive salary. Decent flexibility for working parents.

      Cons

      Arm do not practice what they preach. Not a diverse company ethically. Unfair treatment if race is not in your favor. It is unfortunate that a big industry player is exactly just that and not personable towards its employees and unfair treatment that takes place. Senior level management stay away from issues employees face and allow untrained lower level staff to deal with the issues instead. The salary and benefit packages arm offer are the only real attraction. No real systems in place internally and also no hand over procedures.

      We are glad you were enjoying the reward and benefits we are offering to our employees. Obviously we are sad to read that your experience of working in Arm wasn’t enjoyable. Unfair treatment of employees is not something that we condone. If anybody feels that they are not getting the support and treatment expected from their peers or immediate managers, Arm’s People team is there to support employees who feel that they are being mistreated. Depending on the issue, our whistleblowing or grievance policy will support in doing a full investigation. We want to make sure that all employees are fairly treated within Arm and we are fully committed to being an Equal Opportunity employer. Equality and diversity is really important to us. If you wish to continue the discussion, please don’t hesitate to reach out on glassdoorfeedback@arm.com

      Pros

      Some really nice people who know their stuff

      Cons

      - Bullying is seen as acceptable from senior managers (particularly in Sales team). - Work/life balance non-existent. - Training/onboarding non-existent. - Tenured employees remember favourably the old working culture, but Arm is no longer like this.
