Try to avoid PDG - Senior Engineer Arm Employee Review

You need to be in the right group: CPU. Very often if you're not on the CPU line of business your work activity isn't stable and your project can be canceled and you'll be left alone with no activity to carry on until you quit the job. Especially you have to avoid PDG, the worst business unit of ARM. This group is running out of business with the budget getting lower and lower year after year. You won't have access to basics essential tools for engineers and tech leads, even 1k$ spending will take several months of approval till you'll drop your request. The strategy is in general confused and inconsistent, meaning that the priorities are changing now and then with several millions of investments lost. Middle management is focused on building weekly copy-paste reports, writing blogs, and newsletters while the real managing is left to the engineers. Project managers are used as secretaries with really no added value to the projects. Their main tasks are sending meeting invitations and asking the engineers to fill their timesheets.
