Thank you for your review. Our people are indeed the best in the business - smart, driven, passionate, and innovative. Like many growing tech companies, we've experienced a bit of transformation and change. Through strong leadership and transparent communications, we restructured and have come back strong, aligned, and poised for success. As a current employee, it's disheartening that you've had a negative experience. If you are comfortable, please reach out to your People Business Partner. We value your insights and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss and address your concerns in detail.
