Thank you so much for your 4-star rating. We appreciate your balanced review and thoughtful feedback. The layoffs that occurred earlier this year as a result of the acquisition were a difficult experience for all, but our hope is that we can now move forward in pursuit of our goals. We're glad to hear you enjoy the friendly team atmosphere and will raise your feedback about the speed of engineering releases with our senior leadership team. You can also raise future feedback to leadership directly via the open Q & A portion of our monthly All Staff meetings.
