Pros

Arm is a great company with a really strong future. The new leadership team is talented and moving the company in the right direction and an IPO is just around the corner. The work that the company does is at the forefront of the tech world. Arm pays decent (if not stellar) salaries and has generous short and long-term profit sharing schemes in good bonuses and RSU grants.

Cons

In a lot of orgs, Arm pays lip service to important things like DEI and enabling people to show their value etc. There is, in some enabling functions, a real micro management from the top and a very reactive way of thinking. In these orgs, process is more important than outcome, and the focus of the process appears to be ensuring you can blame someone else when everything goes wrong. One of the Arm values is "We, Not I" but this is seriously lacking in some areas ... to the point that you could describe it as a bullying culture in some situations.

Pros

Clear vision and goals for the company. It's often referenced when talking about here is the culture but it is fantastic. Great benefits although question how competitive they are these days with other companies. Some of the new leaders do appear to care about their function.

Cons

Restructuring decimated the enterprise functions. Avoid unless your an engineer as you're in for overwork / underpaid experience. EC only talk about making life better for engineering not the whole company. No time for personal development as firefighting day in day out. Focus is on IPO so savings are in the back office and investment in the products - makes sense but not even a thank you or acknowledgment on company wide updates,
