Thank you for sharing your feedback. We consistently receive strong positive feedback about our flexible and remote work environment. While it is more challenging to meet colleagues when you aren't working in a physical office, we offer many ways to get to know others throughout the organization. A few examples include our various employee resource groups and the virtual events they host, location-based Slack channels where team members organize local meetups and events, social Slack channels to help you connect with those who hold shared interests, and our Random Coffee program.
