Pros

benefits (for example sabbatical) flexible hours are usually supported in most groups

Cons

extremely biased towards males - you have a chance to be "Arm shaped" only if you are male to begin with Core Beliefs are preached, not lived expansion swallowed most people in Cambridge with relevant experience; recent new employees are often hired for hiring's sake, not because of a skill match interview process is extremely lengthy and pre-filtered by HR: most suitable candidates are snapped up by other companies long before Arm makes a move

First, apologies for the delay in responding to your post. Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that this is your experience of Arm. We of course disagree that you have a chance to be ‘Arm shaped’ only if you are male. Our total number of female employees is average for our industry, a third of our Executive team is female and 25% of the graduates joining us this year are female. We are working hard to encourage more females to work in engineering both within Arm and in the wider industry. Our Core Beliefs were developed and chosen, with input from our people, as they best express the energetic, progressive and collaborative culture that is so tangible at Arm. 94% of people in our recent employee engagement survey (which had a response rate of 87%) said they were proud to work at Arm, and our Core Beliefs are so important for us they are connected to our performance management process. Arm’s interviewing and selection procedure is comprehensively designed to recruit the most suitable candidate for the roles we need. However, it is necessarily agile if a decision needs to be reached quickly. If you would like to discuss any of the points you raise in more detail, please get in touch with me directly or through Glassdoorfeedback@arm.com

Good company but big egos in people team

Pros

Good organisation that is growing at a fast pace. So for someone who enjoys challenges, it is an ideal place to learn and grow.

Cons

Many managers are new and are not well trained. Ego tends to play a big role especially in the support functions like HR and people-team.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the work environment and your friendly teams! The great benefits our employees receive, such as medical insurance, is one of the features we are most well-known and acknowledged for - this includes a HSA and FlexPot. Arm is committed to maintaining affordable benefits for our employees. We’d be interested in hearing more feedback about what we can improve upon in this area so please send an email to Glassdoorfeedback@arm.com.
