      Big Picture of Bangalore Office

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. open work culture : Everyone work in cubicles and accessible . You can just walk and have discussion. 2. Profitable business model 3. Potential of good projects 4. Work life balance 5. global exposure

      Cons

      1. Food : Food is big concern and no action has been taken by company .Feedback register in cafeteria it is filled about this. and these reviews are coming for long time . Here on glassdoor also in some reviews people have mentioned about food quality and that was also 4 months back This may not concern married people who bring their lunch-box from home. 2. Timing : Second thing is timing . Senior management don't follow the rule regarding timing but expects from you to spend 8-9 hours in company even there is no work. Many times you don't know that the senior person is WFH or leave. They don't even care to drop a mail. 3. Salary Salary is competitive . But since food and timing are also issues . This point take driving seat ARM is not highest payer in market . People put extra efforts and start to find opportunities with other market leaders where they are paid way above ARM and it is not that difficult for talented software engineers. 4. HR team : HR team just completes formalities. They take so much time to make final offer to a candidate even after clearance from managers that he/she finds other job offer in that time period. Feedbacks are just for that employee can feel that he is being heard . HR and facility teams highly lack motivation to do good work . Maybe ARM is not paying them good enough. With current state of things you can survive in market but never can be a leader.

      Still good, but not as good as it once was

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with some very clever, interesting and nice people globally. Pockets of greatness. If you are in the right division or team, then there are opportunities to do interesting work, with plenty of freedom/leeway to define own role and organise how you get on and do the work. . Generally a relaxed working atmosphere. Good social events. It still feels like they are trying hard look after us. Not irredeemable, still lots of us trying to make things better and stop the slide.

      Cons

      It may just be me, but it does feels like we are in danger of losing what made the company great ... I think that what is happening, is that as the company is growing, the effective influence of those who make and sell the products is being watered down by the tertiary functions. I think another contributory factor might be because our CEO seems to have located himself away from where most of his engineering is happening. Regardless of why, the net effect is that it feels to me and other long term engineers, that we are not focusing on the product or the mission enough. Instead we seem to be spending increasing amounts of resources on corporate logo's, policies and programs, and not enough on things that might make a difference, e.g. engineers and engineering infrastructure.

      Avoid at all costs, the once great culture has completely eroded

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ok pay and and facilities

      Cons

      Company has falling apart, leadership is very poor, staff are treat appallingly. Its not surprising to see that the CEO and recommend to a friend ratings are dropping on Glass Door, does anyone in the business have control of what is going on (or care)? The people that made Arm great are rapidly jumping ship, with a mass exodus expected in March - the business is sinking with high attrition. People have no confidence in staff surveys (comments can be tracked to the individual) in fear that they will be found out with negative consequences! Senior management are asking people to add reviews to GlassDoor to get the ratings up - why not just make the business a better place to work like it was and value the people that make the business what it is? Everyone feels insecure about their jobs (except Engineers), and support functions are treat like 3rd class citizens. Very sad to see Arm end up like this, I am so pleased that I have found another opportunity and moved on before it gets even worse. On a positive, the senior management are having a great time and are more than happy to keep reminding everyone how amazing everything is!

      Arm Response
      3y
      Thank you for your review and for your contributions to Arm. I’m sorry to hear you’ve chosen to leave. In our latest company-wide survey, completed by 72% of our people, 91% said they were proud to work for Arm. Please consider contacting me or a member of the People team about the issues you’ve raised. No organization can claim to be perfect, but we want to ensure that everyone has a great experience at Arm, and all feedback is valuable. To your point about surveys – our twice-yearly employee surveys are anonymous. We send a unique link to each participant, there is no function within the survey reporting tool to identify individuals, and managers only see a report for their team if 10 or more responses were submitted. Any individual who mistreats another as a consequence of feedback shared through our employee surveys is in breach of our Code of Conduct and should be reported to the Office for Ethics and Compliance through the Arm Integrity Helpline. You also mentioned attrition. Attrition is higher than usual across industries – not just in technology companies or at Arm. One of the reasons attrition at Arm is less than industry norms is our open, collaborative culture (92% of people feel their colleagues create an inclusive environment). Culture is just one part of the great working experience we want our people to have, which is why we recently published a set of commitments to document what experience people can expect at Arm. They apply to everyone, whatever their role, because everyone’s contribution is valuable, and everyone contributes to our goals. If their experience doesn’t meet our commitments, our people are encouraged to speak to their manager or a member of the People group so we can fix any problems they’re having.
