We appreciate you highlighting our location in the DC suburbs; it’s certainly an area we are proud to call home. While we are glad the commute or setting worked well for you, we also take note of your concerns regarding our compensation structure and in-office requirements. We aim to stay competitive and provide a collaborative environment that fuels our business goals, but we understand that flexibility and pay are top priorities for today’s workforce. Your perspective is valuable as we continue to evaluate our internal policies and strive to be an employer of choice.
