Negative Changes
Jun 6, 2022 - Finance and Accounting in San Jose, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
There were a lot of clever people who worked hard to build Arm. Good medical benefits. Arm will continue to be profitable, but whether it is still a good place to work depends upon where you are located and your management chain, some are weak and cannot protect you, others have more influence and you can thrive.
Cons
The company has lost its way, jobs in US are being moved to the UK resulting in a loss of long term employees who have knowledge and history, it is a shame to see the negative changes to a once justifiably proud Arm culture. Unfortunately, Arm is now driven by the whims of Softbank, so upper management must serve its master.

was a good company
Jun 27, 2022 - Senior Engineer in San Jose, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
great engineering team there was a good engineering leadership great UK company culture
Cons
Lost direction, controlled by Softbank. leadership currently is opportunism and speculation. Hard work with low pay. a few months' experiences is ok for graduate new engineers. if you are really looking for something in your career, there are many other better choices.

- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★

Cons
Don’t always listen to employees
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Had a really great total comp before they started revoking large parts of my reward package and basically gave me a pay decrease.
Cons
The entire org is a straight up mess! Overly bloated teams, but not the correct resources required to accomplish the work efficiently. US employees get the shaft in career development compared to the UK. Complete uncertainty day to day on what to expect from Softbank for the future of the company. Not knowing at any minute if my job was at risk of layoff creating so much stress that I left for my own mental health.
