Still great for engineers, but best avoided for others (sadly) - Operations Director Arm Employee Review

Pros

-Good salary, shares and benefits, especially vs other US tech companies. -Still fairly employee focused - DEI and ERGs, well-being, hybrid working, etc. -Thriving graduate programme and excellent early careers team. -Smart CEO with a clear strategy, that seems to be working well.

Cons

-Non-engineering groups have been cut right back to the bone - people are overworked and stressed out. Preventable mistakes happen quite often. -Exec level leaders are all in the US and are all relatively new to the company - there is no connection with or understanding of (UK) company culture and history. -Culture has gone downhill alarmingly fast in the last few years - there are lots of very poor people managers, with no empathy or people skills. -Complaints and whistle blowing about terrible managers are routinely ignored or covered up.

Pros

Work-Life Balance: Widely praised for flexible hybrid schedules and a supportive, low-pressure environment. Standout Perks: Highly rated for its 4-week paid sabbatical program and quarterly "Days of Care" company-wide days off. Collaborative Culture: Features a friendly, ego-free workplace that strongly emphasizes a "we, not I" team mentality. Strong Benefits: Offers excellent overall compensation, including valuable stock options (RSUs) and comprehensive healthcare.

Cons

Pace of Work: Some employees note that projects and decision-making can move slowly due to the relaxed culture.
