Pros

Solid brand name and Softbank acquisition raising the profile further. Big opportunity to make an impact in certain areas.

Cons

Politics and positioning are getting worse post-acquisition. Mgmt./HR seems to be convinced that offering small cash bonuses instead of equity will retain talent or allow for top talent acquisition. This is a big issue. What kind of top talent joins a tech company with no equity comp and middle of the road cash comp. HR is still in the honeymoon phase of SoftBank acquisition. Bonus % are not market competitive, and new cash incentives are measly. No upside of joining Arm at this point. This is commonly discussed at Arm and HR seems blind to it.
