Arm reviews

Thanks for leaving us a review. Your feedback is valuable, even if it’s not easy to read. Our ability to learn and quickly take action from our experiences will drive us to be more successful in the long-term so we do appreciate your feedback. First of all, I’m very sorry, surprised and disappointed to hear about how the experience felt for you. Bullying is never acceptable and is not compatible with our Core Beliefs around “We, not I”. Please write to me with any further details you have and I will look into this personally, to ensure that nobody in my team is experiencing or perpetrating this type of behaviour. As you say, this is a hugely exciting time for Arm and for our IT organisation, where we are undertaking a demanding programme of work to update our infrastructure and services so that they can cope with the demands of a larger, ambitious workforce in pursuit of 1 trillion connected devices. There are lots of opportunities and challenges here, at both an individual and collective level. One of these is resources: we’ve introduced some new processes to improve how we allocate resources to our priorities, so that we’re having the greatest impact according to our goals. As a result we’re hiring a significant number of permanent staff, who we are committed to developing for the long-term. Turnover of our permanent staff in IT is less than 5%. Thank you again for raising these important issues, [Andy Smith, CIO, Arm]

Thanks for leaving a review. The majority of the reviews on Glassdoor have been positive, though not everyone will have the same experience. That said, the job experience you describe is not one I have heard in my time here at ARM. ARM benefits are quite generous as you mentioned, and we have a new reward structure in place with our acquisition from Softbank, due to the fact that we no longer have stock to give out as reward for performance. The company is built on meritocracy, with job assignments based on ability and talent. If you did not feel that you were treated fairly while at ARM, then my recommendation would have been to first consult with your line manager on your career progress. If the line manager is why you felt you were treated unfairly, then I would have recommended you connect with the People Business Partner, as they are there to help ensure that each group operates effectively and efficiently. To your comment on the IP group in shambles, with no vision/limited knowledge from Management, we recently restructured the organization in to two distinct groups: IPG, which focuses on the licenses technology we provide to semiconductor companies and ISG the ​IoT Services Group, which operates security and management services for connected devices. We did this so as to focus on growing the business to reach our desired goal of have 1 trillion connected devices in the next 20 years. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
