From Jack Wood, SVP Engineering: I appreciate your positive review and feedback about what could be better. We’re making investments in our engineers and I am glad it’s showing. Culture is a big part of the tech organization but also something that takes time and energy to improve. With some recent changes, we are seeing positive indicators. I hope we can continue to raise the talent bar
