Appreciate you sharing your experience from Waltham. It’s great to hear you had the chance to work on cutting-edge technology, that push to innovate is core to what makes Arm unique. We know the pace can be demanding, especially in teams driving forward new capabilities. And while in-person work helps spark collaboration and learning, we understand it doesn’t suit everyone all the time. We’re actively evolving our approach to flexibility, so thank you for highlighting this, every perspective helps us improve.

Appreciate you sharing your experience from Austin. It’s great to hear how much you’re getting out of the breadth of work at Arm, from hardware IP to software stacks, the range of opportunities is a huge strength, especially for early-career engineers. You’re right that Arm is powering much of the AI revolution, and it’s exciting to know you feel connected to that impact. Glad the experience has been so positive so far, we’re glad to have you on the team.
