Arm Response
9yThank you for leaving a review, as well as your more than 5 years of service at ARM! Even though the headline of the review skews negative, you do recommend the company and have a positive outlook on the company :)
Glassdoor ratings are based solely on employee reviews, so it's reflective of the general sentiment from employees at ARM that leave reviews, which are generally positive. That said, it's still good to have constructive feedback such as yours to see where we still have areas to improve upon. As we continue to grow, this feedback is vitally important to ensure that the work culture we have cultivated at ARM, and in turn made us successful, continues to shine!
Regarding Cambridge rents/properties, this is unfortunately out of our control. Cambridge as a whole has gotten more expensive over the last few years. Salaries are comparable to others in the area, and once you factor in the bonus structure and new launch award, the total compensation package is quite competitive.
The Cambridge folks are also feeling the squeeze until the Cambridge expansion project is completed, so we'll have nicer/newer offices soon!
For career development, I encourage you to talk to your line manager to discuss what you can do to advance your career. If he/she truly does not care/like you, then I would encourage discussing this with your People Business Partner as well. I also encourage you to visit the ARM Talent Development page to see what training courses for additional skills are available to you. Finally, with all of the growth we are experiencing due to the Softbank acquisition, there are a lot of open roles available, so I invite you to challenge yourself to a new role at ARM!
