Pros

Large empty Cambridge office, new and mostly unused.

Cons

Skilled engineering staff leaving in droves, unrealistic and undeliverable roadmap, all focus on IPO, junior staff not being developed, workload ever increasing. Current hard push to force people to return to office. Bonuses have dried up and engineers seem to be waiting for their IPO payout before leaving. Sad to see the culture go, DEI is non existant and the mangement team do not care.

Pros

> Strong Business Outlook. Well-positioned in the marketplace from legacy products. Good products and headwinds for the future should mean Arm is successful > People are smart and generally very nice / generally want to add value. > Pay is average given inflation. Bonuses make it worthwhile. Opportunity for L&D which is nice. > If you are an engineer Arm will treat you very well.

Cons

> If you are not in engineering, don't bother, no one cares what you think. Why should leaders care, even if your contribution is valid? You don't develop products after all. You are essentially viewed as just dead weight. You will be paid less year on year and treated like a second-class citizen compared to engineering. > Politics is rife as people jive to keep their jobs and gain 'favour' to be seen to be delivering, even if really they are not. > Good luck getting ideas to percolate up within the business. This is a top-down business where the leadership style is to ask for your opinion but your opinion isn't what is important, the important thing is you come to the same conclusion as the predefined plan of leadership. Anything else is discarded, discarded or ignored, resulting in many 'yes men'. This is dangerous for the longevity of the business if it is to be a multigenerational business. Arm will probably be fine anyway for the next decade though because of its market position.
