Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The work life balance is one of the factors we are most well known for and it's something that we are proud of - valuing your personal time and self outside the office. We have a D&I committee that is working to address the point you brought up and it's something we working on at Arm. Thanks again for your honest feedback.

Pros

cutting edge technology, enlightened management that cares about employee development, and best compensation packages in silicon valley, including lots of vacation (+ 4 wk sabbatical every 4 years), genuine flex-time, good bonuses, etc.

Cons

No ESSOP or stock options. Global distribution of worksites can make organizing intra-company communications challenging.

Thanks for leaving a review! Prior to our acquisition by Softbank, we offered RSUs and ESPP to Arm employees as we were a publicly traded company on both the FTSE and Nasdaq markets. Following the acquisition, we became a wholly owned subsidiary, with all stocks purchased by Softbank, meaning we have no stock available for our employees to vest in to. Our Rewards team has looked in to RSU/ESPP options for Softbank, but much more needs to be researched before this option can be considered. In lieu of an RSU/ESPP plan, we do offer the Launch and Partner awards, along with the annual Flexpot that all established employees have access to, along with the generous vacation time and flex time options you mentioned! For internal management promotions, each line manager should be developing a succession plan for themselves by identifying key talent in their teams. Past that, talent development is owned by each individual employee, with a wealth of information and resources available to them on the Talent Development intranet page. -Rick C.
