Pros

Great people to work with, smart, talented, always collaborating to achieve the great good for the company. Best company I had worked for when I join in 2015. Benefits, flexible work environment, company reputation and industry leadership and impact made it a company one was proud to work for.

Cons

Under Softbank and with the Nvidia failed acquisition, the company is losing its way and the culture that made it such an industry jewel is melting away towards becoming political, nepotistic, solidly drifting towards a good old boys club. Middle management favors loyalty to skills and accomplishments, graces on yesterday's successes and enjoys stealing their troops' thunder (though it does matter which Line of Business or function one works for). The company now only cares about the IPO valuation target set by Softbank and is going through a 15% lay-off on a year where revenues are up 30% while hemorrhaging its best and brightest. Sadly, long gone are the days of being proud working for Arm.
