Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's great to hear that work/life balance, compensation, and the opportunity to work alongside talented colleagues have been positives for you. We understand that the return-to-office policy is a meaningful change, and we’re focused on making in-person time valuable for collaboration, learning, and connection while continuing to listen for feedback. Leadership is also working to make thoughtful investments in both our people and our platform so that innovation is balanced with long-term stability. We appreciate your perspective and encourage you to keep sharing it with your manager or HRBP.
