This potentially makes arm a monopoly, and with Softbank blocking career mobility to Graphcore, things could get very constrained for engineers in the UK

That time of the year again.

Any layoff expected in France offices in 2024?

What are your RSUs going to be worth if we have a stock trajectory like the WeWork IPO?

Hearing that it is on the table to increase the income statement as much as possible since we are only likely to hit 30-40 billion in revenue right now.

If anyone has any insight about cuts, please spill the beans. I have never been so anxious.

$44bn paid Is clearing out all the rotten executives. Will start firing the dead-enders sitting in meetings and delivering nothing according to reports. Project Managers, Product Managers, entire profitless segments gone. Will remove any... — read more 

I'm overjoyed to be out of there. It is a horrible place with horrendous work culture and managers who'll do all they can to take credit for your work and set you up to fail in case they see you as a threat. There is an exodus of talent and if... — read more 

Imagine ARM IPOd in 2021 instead of wasting their time on a clearly doomed NVIDIA acquisition. Masa is a master at losing billions.

With no vision expect another round of layoffs before ipo. Good luck. The company is starting to sink.

Arm’s APM party will be limited to 600 guest. Some key influencers, ex employees will be invited and the rest will be strippers for entertainment. The tech event has gone from meaningful event to a party with old friends. The voting on the... — read more 

Heard that Apple, Meta, Qualcomm, Google and others are hiring CPU and graphics engineers with yearly total comp packs exceeding $600K. Don’t be a fool given the sinking Arm ship. Mgt just want to milk the cash for themselves. Cut employee... — read more 

Heard that iPO is still planned for March 2023. Mgt must living in utopia if they think that Arm should be valued at $60B given the market conditions. Also employees were offered fewer RSU shares then prior years. Company is so cheap.

Does anyone believe Arm is innovating or just resting on its current v8 architecture (given the v9 architecture brings little or no value) and just raising its prices given its monopoly status in mobile, DTV, STB, etc? Intel seems to be investing... — read more 

I hope the severance pay will be generous........ I hope so anyway.

I believe most have been polishing resumes and considering other options for a while now. I am very worried about getting another offer, although many tell me that finding a new job is easier than ever which is encouraging. But is that really so?... — read more 

Anybody heard anything?

It took me less than a month to find a new job, even though I thought it wouldn't be so easy due to my age. I hope others have a similar experience with looking for a new job.

If anyone has more details on who the target groups are, please spill the beans.

I am definitely looking for a new job because I do not intend to stay here anymore. There are many other options, it is not very difficult to find another job if someone has a good skillset. I can't even imagine what this company will look like... — read more 

I'm 52 and I've heard horror stories about how hard it is to find a job in our field at my age. I've been working at Arm for more than 15 years and I thought I'd retire from here. The idea of starting over somewhere else is scary and I'm not looking... — read more

Now that the NVIDIA deal is off, what are options for SW/HW engineers in ARM in the US and Europe?

Where to find more information on the Pelion (spinoff from ARM) Layoffs? I heard almost all of the management in the US were laid off and were told last week ( December 1st , 2nd and 3rd)

:D

A colleague of mine who left, capable, a man with a lot of knowledge and skills, talented, always engaged, has now been replaced with a new hire that is the exact opposite. I’m glad when people get a chance to gain experience, but is it really... — read more 

The only reason the UK is in the office is because only one legal requirement has to be done face to face. Can you guess which one that is?

What did folk think of this? There was a lot of talk about the ‘data’, but a notable lack of it actually shared. Just broad assertions like “women and people of colour are underrepresented” and “white men had the largest advantage in the hiring... — read more 

Seems like there is a large top-down push to get projects tied up for September/October from management, right around the mid-year review cycle and entering of graduates. Even individuals are being pushed to document and tie up their work under the... — read more 

The company has been given a few months to get it's affairs in order, but the deal is dead. Expect a lot of manuevers before official announcements in the coming months.

PoU Date - 5 September WFH Ends - 27 September Everyone prepared to act surprised when there is a "restructuring". Before the offer letters arrive?

So some of us are now receiving our offer letters in CPU and CT, seems this isn't company wide and we are being told not to share it under penalty of misconduct from what I gather.
