      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.

      Pros

      Flexibility, interesting IPs, overall good pay

      Cons

      Bad leadership disconnected from reality in terms of projects planning. Middle management without a clue on how to deal with people. Lots of duplication of work and a lack of a dedicated tools and flows team. Values and team culture dependent on which site and IP you work on significantly some teams are great others a complete nightmare in terms of teamwork and collaboration.

      Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review – and for the years you spent contributing to Arm’s success. We’re glad to hear the flexibility, technical challenges and reward stood out during your time here. We know that consistency in leadership, collaboration and team culture makes a huge difference. While many teams are thriving, it’s clear from your experience that we don’t always get it right. We’re continuing to invest in leadership development, team effectiveness and improving how we plan and prioritise – especially when it comes to reducing duplication and unnecessary complexity. Your advice is spot on, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.

      Appreciate the concise feedback – glad to hear things are going well for you in Cambridge. Even when there’s nothing major to call out, it’s valuable to know the experience is a positive one. If you ever do spot opportunities to make life at Arm even better, we’d love for you to share those with your manager or the People team. Thanks for being part of the team and for helping shape our culture.
