Pros

Good benefits, exciting work, amazing engineers.

Cons

Bad middle management ruined it for me. They're also slow to promote, have stagnant wages, and can treat engineers as interchangeable.

Thank you for your honesty, we completely agree with you, the experience of our people is unparalleled. We value our people, but of course, we can always look to improve. I would be keen to understand your experience on the lack of promotion in further detail because we certainly don't believe our engineers are interchangeable- each area within our business has a unique skill set, whilst we can learn from one another, you should be encouraged to be yourself. I'm contactable on GlassdoorFeedback@arm.com - I look forward to hearing from you.
