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.
