Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback! We are pleased to hear that you were satisfied with our robust compensation. However, we take your criticism seriously and are disappointed to hear you experienced a negative work environment. Wave is intentional in cultivating a healthy work life balance, indicative in our open time off policy. In addition, in 2020, we have been proactive in increasing employee engagement to boost morale. We hold ourselves to a high standard, yet we are truly sorry we did not meet your expectations.
