Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We appreciate all opportunities to improve and learn more about what we can do to make CircleCI an amazing play to work! Your concern around company and product direction is definitely important and something we've been working hard on this year to make sure that we all feel like we are transparently moving toward improvement and being the best product we can be! If you're comfortable doing so, I recommend reaching out to a People Partner to deliver additional feedback on how we can improve communication across the org. Thank you again!
