We’re glad to hear you had a positive experience with Arm, particularly around culture, pay, and benefits. We know the pace and workload can feel intense at times, and in some locations the start of the day comes earlier than people might expect. That intensity is part of what drives our impact, but we also aim to give people the tools and support they need to manage it. Thank you for your contribution during your time with us in Lagos, and for taking the time to share your perspective.
