Thank you for your feedback. We too are appreciative for the continuous opportunities to evolve, and for the exceptional people we learn alongside. In respect to your concerns around compensation, our People teams keep a close eye on how our compensation bands compare to industry standards, and we adjust accordingly to ensure our employees are paid at or above market while being sure to maintain internal equity. Your notes around work/life balance and growth opportunities resonate: We’ve found that with our recent rapid growth, we needed to scale our employee base to maintain momentum and not increase individuals' workloads in the process. We have also amped up full-time employee development by investing in tooling and professional development budgets for individual contributors and managers alike. We are optimistic that this will address the concerns you’ve mentioned here.
