Thank you for sharing your perspective. We’re glad to hear you found the compensation and benefits competitive—particularly healthcare and retirement, which we know are important to many. Working in smaller teams can bring focus, but we understand it can also feel a bit disconnected at times. We’ve been putting more emphasis on bringing people together through internal communication channels, shared events, and cross-team touchpoints. Feedback like yours reinforces the value of that effort, and we’ll continue down that path to help strengthen connection across the organization.

Thank you for your feedback and for being part of the team in Wilmington. It’s great to hear that collaboration, access to leading-edge technology, and communication from leadership are all making a difference in your experience. We strive to maintain that kind of environment as, for us, it forms the foundation that powers possibilities. We also recognize how important competitive pay is. We continually assess our compensation and benefits to ensure they are aligned with current market standards.
