Arm Response
8yThanks 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.
