Pros

Believe me. No pros in this firm, at Bangalore office. Read the cons below to know more. There are only cons. Its like a hell .

Cons

If you joining as a software engineer, senior software engineer, verification or senior verification engineer, please don't, you will regret. Very strict regarding timing, only for non-managers. Managers have no rules, no work. They are smart enough to prove you wrong if you question them. That's why Indians are so keen to be managers, unlike British or Americans who believe in work. Managers at Bangalore office highly misuse their position. And HRs speak what the managers ask them to say. Generally the managers of these idiot managers are in US/UK so they don't have a clue. They believe whatever these managers tell them.

Pros

- Listens and acts on employees feedback - Healthy work/life balance - Employees are encouraged to take an initiative - Some of the best technical guys around are here!

Cons

- Recent origanization growth rate is very rapid. There is a number of scalability issues, mostly in IT area - Lund site is (and feels like) a satellite one. No serious career graph or career variety there - Pay is on an average level, not extraordinary, plus no overtime payment at all.

Thanks for leaving a review! As you mentioned, ARM has grown rapidly in the last few years which is both a good and a bad thing. Good in the sense that we're doing great as a business to need to scale up very fast. Bad in the sense that we did not have the proper infrastructures and policies in place to reflect a larger organization. It's been a bit of a growing pain, and we thank employees for the feedback that we've needed to improve things internally. For compensation, salary is only one component of the total rewards package, which also includes RSUs, ESPP and annual bonuses. If you have any additional feedback, I please do bring it to the attention of your HR Business Partner, as they are there to support your teams to make ARM a great place to work! -Rick C.

Thanks for leaving a review of your experience at ARM. As you mentioned, we offer all employees a flexible work schedule, and all FTE employees a very generous amount of PTO, both of which help with keeping your mind and energy levels refreshed. On your view of HR policies, we continually collect feedback and improve on said HR policies to make ARM an even better to work. Recent changes like the new AFDS log book help employees with better communication channels with their line managers, as well as their annual performance review/salary adjustment. -Rick C.
