Downward Spiral
Downward Spiral
There are innovative products and great colleagues and decent benefits, but it is still not on par with standard Silicon Valley benefits.
Poor leadership, too slow and scared of change. No decision making, no transparency and Executive Committee hoards decisions and refuses to delegate to qualified staff.
Leads by fear, if you disagree, you are pushed out.
Fix your culture problem, the UK vs. the US is going to destroy your company.
Delegate, don’t be afraid and change. Lead by example and make decisions and allow dissenters. If you hire qualified employees, don’t demoralize them by not empowering them to make decisions.
Treat employees with respect, dissenters with real world experience from working with other companies being a fresh perspective, the “lifers” at Arm refuse to accept there are better ways of doing what they already do.
It would be wise to bring in new leadership that was not the core, engineering designers of the Arm platform and who are not emotionally attached in order to move the company to the next level.
