Firstly, thank you for your service at Arm. The majority of the reviews on Glassdoor have been positive but we appreciate that not everyone will have the same experience! That said, the experience you describe is not one I have heard of during my time here at Arm and so I would love to address a few concerns. To your comment on the management teams, with no/limited knowledge from Management, we recently restructured the organization in to two distinct groups: IPG and the subsequent lines of business, which focuses on the licenses technology we provide to semiconductor companies and ISG the ​IoT Services Group, which operates security and management services for connected devices. We did this so as to focus on growing the business to reach our desired goal of having 1 trillion connected devices in the next 20 years. We have a lot of growth ahead of us, with the separation allowing us focus on growing the businesses independently of each other without the need to report to shareholders and we appreciate that this is a big time of change for all of our employees. We’ve also recently introduced the core beliefs for leaders to guide our leadership teams on how they can inspire and manage their teams aligned with our culture and values. You also mentioned about work life balance which is something we are rated highly consistently by our employees on Glassdoor! To ensure we are providing not only work-life balance but a flexible working environment, we are carrying out flexible working pilots across our different groups but also ensuring that our management teams are equipped to have conversations with their individual team members and find a flexible working plan that works best for that individual – whether that’s working from home, changing hours to adjust around child care or condensing their working week.

Pros

- Co-workers are great - WFH options (least in my department) - Cafe while "subsidized" (not really at all) does have decent healthy options from time to time - Healthcare benefits are top tier as well as 401k and others - Culture

Cons

- Some of the departments have no idea how to run a successful project (yet claim it was a success). An attempt to introduce to technology or methods takes years and that is even if the idea doesn't get canned before then or simply abandoned in favor of engineers own creations. No global company standards for tech. - Cafe on-site but not subsidized, may as well go anywhere else as it will be cheaper/more value for your money - No snacks or drinks other than flavored la croix, goes back to the cafe where they want you to spend your money - Work life balance - Focus on policy and procedure comes from an overseas office where idea's seem skewed - Below average compensation for the work performed - No lateral movement within most departments seems everything is artificially locked behind a budget. If you are somehow promoted you will not receive the proper compensation nor title. - Can do awesome in your performance review however due to top level management still get denied raises or additional benefits.
