Pros

Arm Norway and Arm ----------------------------

  • Good work life balance
  • Interesting job
  • Great engineering environment for brainstorming and innovation
  • Awesome package (short and long term)
  • Fantastic execs which are driving Arm to the next level!!
Cons

Arm Norway (not Arm)

  • There is a bad high/mid management environment for brainstorming and innovation.
  • High/Mid managers/leaders are not competent, and they are not well suited for decision making, driving, as well as leading.
  • There are high/mid managers/leaders with low or no experience in leading, managing, and taking decisions, and most of all with the same background, which makes diverse opinions and mind sets difficult to arise.
  • There are too many high/mid managers/leaders.
Advice to Management

Enrich managers' and leaders' positions and roles with diverse backgrounds (previous tech companies' experience, nationalities, universities) and people who really know how to be leaders and managers, not with those that are only good technically. Do not put technically good people in such roles and then train them, but do the complete opposite to those persons who are really cut out for it!

Unfortunately, the current management structure is slowing down the potential of the Arm Norway office.
