Pros

Good work life balance. Decent pay

Cons

I am a full time employee of ARM from 8 year. But now it is very uncertain . Vision is not clear and any time layoff can happen. One layoff just recently happen. Layoff was done very brutally. Employee were not given time to collect their personal belongings. Iteration rate is already very high this year and layoff might have ripple effect. ARM is not best paying company but known for their job stability but now that is not the case.

Thank you for your comments. As mentioned in a response to a previous comment, businesses continuously grow and change, and at Arm we are no different. Recent changes, while difficult and not undertaken lightly, have been made to ensure that we have the right people, with the right skills and capabilities, to allow us to progress. We sought to manage these changes as compassionately as possible, and are fully committed to supporting those who are directly affected, as well as those that continue to work at Arm. We appreciate that this is an unsettling time for many, but we would not be managing the organisation responsibly if we did not ensure we are focusing in the right areas to be able to achieve our strategy. Please be reassured that Arm’s vision hasn’t changed, and we have a huge and exciting opportunity ahead of us. If you feel able to do so, please speak to your line manager about your concerns, or if you would like to discuss this further with me, please get in touch via Glassdoorfeedback@arm.com
