Pros

The engineering peers are great and the work is really interesting.

Cons

Poor management. Most of the managers are engineers that just want to be individual contributors. They climbed the ranks by writing great code, not by managing people, and most of the time these 2 skillsets don't come together. Executive level became so opaque. There is a constant feeling of mistrust towards them. Raise and promotion system feels unfair. There is no anonymity related to peer feedback and most of the time they're not even considered. The entire process is opaque. Poor pay and benefits compared to top tech companies. Outdated mentality related to remote working and hybrid working.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s true that many managers joined Arm as individual contributors, but you don't have to be a manager to progress your career at Arm – we have a number of Fellows who are individual contributors. Managers do have a huge influence on someone’s experience of Arm, which is why the People team is working on providing more guidance – we’ll share more information on this soon. Transparency around pay rises and promotions is important to us, which is why feedback in the myDevelopment system is not anonymous. For more details about how Annual and Mid-Year review works, search for “Annual Review” on People Hub. Our commitment is to reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm, differentiating on performance and external market dynamics. If you have any questions that aren’t answered in the Knowledge Article, or you have any questions about reward, you can use the live chat on People Hub to speak to a member of the People team directly. Finally, we haven’t stopped doing pulse surveys. We just ran the 2023 Life at Arm Annual Survey and hope you have participated and shared your experiences of Arm.
