Arm

If you are a software engineer, a big NO, never ever think about joining ARM.

It is good for others.

Arm is good place for non-software peoples.

Below review is for software engineers(or equivalent) at Bangalore office

Managers are just playing game with the global company. They have established a big team just for few simple tools so that they can relax at their will and at the same time global company will think they are doing great job.

Work is very monotonous which doesnt need any intellect at all and no knowledge gain over time. So, skill developement in 1 year is almost same as that will be in 10 years.

Strict work timing: managers don't care how hard or smart work you have done, they will just see your presence or the work timings.As there will not be any skill developement over time or there are no such work which required smart or hard work, what should be the measure of your work performance then? Its only the "work timing".

Software peoples have adapted the existing culture. They don't socialize much. They just complete their work timing and rush home.

Also most managers don't so much productive work, they just pass time in team meetings, coffee or facebook etc. or simply "work" from home.

Hire new managers in software groups. Current managers knows only how to "Manage things" for their benefits.
