Pros

Ok pay and and facilities

Cons

Company has falling apart, leadership is very poor, staff are treat appallingly. Its not surprising to see that the CEO and recommend to a friend ratings are dropping on Glass Door, does anyone in the business have control of what is going on (or care)? The people that made Arm great are rapidly jumping ship, with a mass exodus expected in March - the business is sinking with high attrition. People have no confidence in staff surveys (comments can be tracked to the individual) in fear that they will be found out with negative consequences! Senior management are asking people to add reviews to GlassDoor to get the ratings up - why not just make the business a better place to work like it was and value the people that make the business what it is? Everyone feels insecure about their jobs (except Engineers), and support functions are treat like 3rd class citizens. Very sad to see Arm end up like this, I am so pleased that I have found another opportunity and moved on before it gets even worse. On a positive, the senior management are having a great time and are more than happy to keep reminding everyone how amazing everything is!

Arm Response

Thank you for your review and for your contributions to Arm. I’m sorry to hear you’ve chosen to leave. In our latest company-wide survey, completed by 72% of our people, 91% said they were proud to work for Arm. Please consider contacting me or a member of the People team about the issues you’ve raised. No organization can claim to be perfect, but we want to ensure that everyone has a great experience at Arm, and all feedback is valuable. To your point about surveys – our twice-yearly employee surveys are anonymous. We send a unique link to each participant, there is no function within the survey reporting tool to identify individuals, and managers only see a report for their team if 10 or more responses were submitted. Any individual who mistreats another as a consequence of feedback shared through our employee surveys is in breach of our Code of Conduct and should be reported to the Office for Ethics and Compliance through the Arm Integrity Helpline. You also mentioned attrition. Attrition is higher than usual across industries – not just in technology companies or at Arm. One of the reasons attrition at Arm is less than industry norms is our open, collaborative culture (92% of people feel their colleagues create an inclusive environment). Culture is just one part of the great working experience we want our people to have, which is why we recently published a set of commitments to document what experience people can expect at Arm. They apply to everyone, whatever their role, because everyone’s contribution is valuable, and everyone contributes to our goals. If their experience doesn’t meet our commitments, our people are encouraged to speak to their manager or a member of the People group so we can fix any problems they’re having.
