Thank you for sharing your review. Our Workplace team works tirelessly to create offices that feel like Arm while reflecting the environment they’re in – I can’t wait to get back to them! Arm operates in a dynamic industry where change is constant. To be successful long-term we need to be agile and respond to that change which means it’s not always possible to stick to a single path. We do everything in our power to minimize the impact of change on our people but sometimes we need to increase or decrease the priority of projects. I’d be interested in hearing more about your experience – particularly if you have a particular change in mind – so please contact me - adele.mcintosh@arm.com.
