Appreciate your feedback – especially the recognition of the people, leadership and growth opportunities at Arm Bengaluru. It’s great to hear you’re finding the work energising and forward-looking. We’re building the future of computing, and that takes extraordinary teams, access to cutting-edge tech and a culture that supports continuous development. Glad that’s your experience so far. Thanks for being part of it.

Thanks for the feedback – especially your comments on work-life balance, the team and our Cambridge site. We’re glad those elements are landing well for you. On reward, we aim to recognise and reward the impact our people make through competitive, equitable pay and progression opportunities. That includes regular reviews to ensure our compensation remains in line with the market. We appreciate your perspective and will make sure it feeds into ongoing discussions – and if you haven’t already, we’d encourage you to speak with your manager or a member of the People team about your specific concerns.

Pros

* Good pay. * Decent culture on paper, but it doesn't always filter down to individual teams.

Cons

* Meaningless targets and performance reviews – These can quickly become a nightmare, especially under a tone-deaf manager. * Hard to make a real impact – Despite the enthusiastic talk about innovation and change, actually driving meaningful improvements is incredibly difficult. * Poor people management – There's little to no proper selection process for managers, and the heavy-handed hierarchy only makes things worse.

Thank you for being so candid – and for your long-standing contribution over nearly a decade. It’s clear you care about Arm and want to see it live up to its full potential. We’re proud of the culture and reward you’ve highlighted, but it’s equally important to acknowledge where your experience has fallen short. People leadership and performance processes should empower, not frustrate – and we’re actively working to improve both. That includes refining our approach to manager development and accountability, and reviewing how we set goals that are meaningful and motivating. If you’re open to a deeper conversation, we’d value the chance to hear more. Please reach out to glassdoor@arm.com or speak directly with the People team.
