      disappointed in recent decisions

      Staff software engineer

      Pros

      Interesting work, talented people all over

      Cons

      Recently there have been a number of questionable decisions 1. Raising in-office attendance from 20% to 40%, and also monitoring their records. How could you claim this to be a trust based environment? 2. Paltry payrises despite good profits, completely ignoring how cost of living crisis is having a severe effect on your employees 3. Reduced office amenities and even started charging for coffee, combining with more mandatory in-office days it's torturous

      Thank you for sharing your experiences of life at Arm. We work in a flexible, hybrid way because we believe it’s the best way to build the Arm community while enabling personal choice and inclusion – that means everyone is asked to spend some of their time in the office. The specific amount varies by team and the type of work they do. In terms of reward, we reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm, differentiating on performance and external market dynamics. If you don't think your reward reflects your contribution, please talk to your manager or a member of the People team. We provide a variety of catering options on our Cambridge offices. For coffee specifically, you can use the free coffee machines in the kitchens dotted around, or you can visit one of the on-site baristas who’ll make your drink exactly how you like it for a small charge. Thanks again for your review. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us: Glassdoorfeedback@arm.com

      "We Not I"

      Senior engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You have a job. Company name is good for your CV

      Cons

      Company has a value called "We Not I". Bureaucracy inside the company uses this to exercise power on you. Hierarchies of flunkeys. The higher level management exercises controls through them. So, no matter how effective you are and how much you care for the team, if you don't obey the flunkeys, they criticize you for the "We not I" in their performance reviews. This puts high pressure on you for no reason. Of course the reason is to obey the flunkeys. But these usually push orders just to satisfy their ego, and most often they are nonsense. This, with the help of their masters, they baptize "We". Nevertheless, the company gives its fight for DEI. What a hypocrisy!

      Avoid the mess!

      Pros

      Had a really great total comp before they started revoking large parts of my reward package and basically gave me a pay decrease.

      Cons

      The entire org is a straight up mess! Overly bloated teams, but not the correct resources required to accomplish the work efficiently. US employees get the shaft in career development compared to the UK. Complete uncertainty day to day on what to expect from Softbank for the future of the company. Not knowing at any minute if my job was at risk of layoff creating so much stress that I left for my own mental health.
