Pros

Not applicable. I don't have even 5 words.

Cons

- Memory compiler releases scheduled on Thanksgiving & other holidays in addition to regular releases every 2 weeks. - Hectic schedule makes it hard to follow what is going in the team. - Not a positive environment to learn and grow. - Senior team mates don't generally provide simple answer to basic queries raised by junior engineers. - Very low pay for junior employees compared to other employers in the bay area. - Bonus and other compensations are not competitive.

Thank you for your service at Arm and the candid review. We see many good reviews about the employee experience at Arm, but we appreciate that you have taken the time to let us know your thoughts. Arm values teamwork, innovation and individuality. We strive to ensure there is a work-life balance within Arm; however, the schedules for engineering releases might conflict as we’re all working to deliver the best solutions for our partners. To ensure we provide not only work-life balance but a flexible working environment, we are carrying out flexible working pilots across our different groups. We also ensure our management teams are equipped to have conversations with their individual team members and find a flexible working plan that works best for those individuals – whether that’s working from home, changing hours to adjust around child care, or condensing their work week. We use our core beliefs of We, not I; Passion for progress; and Be your brilliant self to guide how we work together to deliver results. We introduced core beliefs for leaders to guide our leadership teams to inspire and manage their teams in alignment with our culture and values, which includes sharing information and fostering teams to find their brilliance.

Thanks for leaving a review! We provide a generous amount of PTO along with flexible working policies to ensure that our employees have a great work life balance. While the base salary is competitive, once you factor in all the extra benefits that Arm provides does the total compensation package become truly excellent. A 4-week sabbatical every 4-years of service, generous PTO, Launch & Partner awards and of course, the newly introduced Flexpot, which you can use for Health and Wellbeing or Personal Development, both for yourself and your family. -Rick Employer Branding @ Social Media Specialist

Fewer transitional opportunities. Salary ranges can vary very widely even within the same grade.
