Pros

Still a reasonably well-positioned technology company.

Cons

Reading some other reviews, it seems we have many new people who see the company as a place with a good pay package and good work-life balance. I suspect this is purely due to the fact that the more established employees still do most of the real work, leaving the less useful new people time to do more fun things like DEI engagement and/or have their work-life balance. Despite massive employee growth, it's still largely the same people doing the heavy lifting, while not being appropriately rewarded, and are now also expected to support/train all the new people and their quest for work-life balance. This doesn't seem very good for our work-life balance, nor is our reward appropriate for the added workload. Also, uncertainty first with Nvidia, now with IPO, restructuring etc.

Pros

Cannot complain about the working package overall

Cons

Internal politics is rife and not healthy. Motivation will drop over time due to the politics that takes place.

Pros

Easy job clock in and clock out, some of the benefits of the wider company e.g. bonus.

Cons

No chance of promotion unless you know the right people, IT a very political and hostile function. Politics, politics, politics...... did I mention politics?

Arm Response

On behalf of CIO: Thank you for leaving feedback, and sorry that Arm is not working well for you at the moment. Given the dynamic and demanding nature of our business, there is a lot for us to do, and there are always opportunities for our team to contribute more. I want everyone on the team to be not just doing their jobs, but figuring out how they can improve the work they do, and finding opportunities to deliver better service to our customers. As a leadership team we work hard to ensure that advancement is based on merit – a combination of performance against work objectives, and the acquisition of relevant new skills. We are coming up to our mid-year review, which is a good opportunity to discuss your progress, and your development plan with your line manager. I really encourage you to do that. If you feel that you cannot have this discussion with your line manager then please reach out to the business partner from the People team. Hope that Arm starts to work better for you soon, Andy Smith (CIO)
