      Non-Technical Mangers at the Top in CPU Teams

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Arm good place to work until few years ago. Not anymore. Work life balance is good.

      Cons

      After the Softbank acquisition, only CPU derivative products being done here. Work is very monotonous. No challenging projects. To Top it, most of the senior management in the CPU teams in Bangalore is filled with non-technical folks, who don't understand things in the projects , but who understand only 'resources' and 'milestones'. Everything else is noise to them. Whoever talks more in meetings , seems to moves up the ladder fast. This has caused Arm to loose many good technical folks, which in-turn has increased the burden on us. Teams are genrally short staffed, so when this is raised, the management folks in turn start questioning our ability instead. This sets very negative environoment , which has caused rise in attrition. Management only want 'Yes Boss' people who will blindly execute and not smart tech guys who can identify and solve challenges. Very monotonous work. Promotions seem to be unfair also, as seen in the recent past.

      In our most recent Life At Arm survey, along with Glassdoor reviews, our people rate the ‘Work-Life Balance’ along with the flexible hours as some of the best attributes to working at Arm. In enabling learning being easily accessible anytime anywhere, we have launched online learning options for all. The experience you detail, certainly isn’t a typical Arm experience that we regularly get feedback on. For that reason, we would like the opportunity to understand and explore your experience further, to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Would you be so kind as to reach out to Shyam Sadasivan, Director of Employee Experience who is based in Bengaluru office. His contact details can be found in our internal organizational chart and Outlook.

      Pros

      Arm is one of the only places I've worked where people are truly valued and cared for as individuals. This makes coming to work every day a pleasant experience. Additionally, the compensation and benefits are outstanding relative to the competition.

      Cons

      The company is based in the UK and much of the decision making doesn't happen in the U.S. It's important for those considering working at Arm to know this up front. It's not necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of. Additionally, Arm is a collaborative company, which can be a positive, but it can take a long time for decisions to get made with much back and forth. Finally, while the pay is very good, there really isn't a mechanism in place to reward high performers vs. average performers. The vast majority of the company receives the same performance rating and bonus, resulting in being discouraged to go the extra mile.
