Pros

Relaxed work environment, great quality of life. e.g finishing at 16:00 on a regular basis.

Cons

Taking design authority guidance from IT Architects that have less knowledge than I do with Windows and server\cloud infrastructure. Look up some of the Architects for the company on linkedin you will see next to no technical certifications and a career history certainly that shows they are out of their depth. Having to take advice from these people that know far less than I do is not typical in other organisations.

Pros

Pretty good comp program that adds to the base salary.

Cons

Constant reorgs cause confusion No career path for Project Managers when compared to Engineering Line management and upper management rarely truely know what the Project Managers are actually doing. Usually the engineering teams know your worth and performance better than your own organisation.

Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Project Management industry-wide is a tricky one to outline clear progression paths, however, with that said we are fortunate here at Arm that people have the opportunity to fluidly move around the business, it's very important for us to leverage our internal ability and further develop our People. If you would like to learn more, please feel free to come and speak with the Talent Acquisition Team as to what is or could be available for you - we recognise everyone is unique so a one on one conversation might be best :) We hear the point on the management changes and like many other businesses that experience the level of rapid growth Arm has gone through, change and org structure shuffles are expected. With that being said, we hope the journey you are on with us, is an exciting and rewarding one, that we can all remember for the rest of our careers.

Pros

You have good chunk of personal time, no push on daily work

Cons

too many line managers, unnecessary deep hierarchy, and also a good portion of line managers completely doesn't qualify, some tech leads are doing nothing. I could see good people are leaving while bad people are happy remaining.
