Appreciate you highlighting what makes the work here meaningful; creating real-world impact, growing through challenge and having space to innovate are core to life at Arm. It’s encouraging to hear you’ve found strong support for both creative thinking and balance. We know restructures can create uncertainty, and we’re mindful of how they affect people. As we evolve, we aim to keep decisions aligned to our long-term ambition while supporting teams through change. If you’ve got thoughts on how we can better navigate those moments or reduce internal friction, please raise them with your manager or site leadership in Munich.
