Rapid growth was not managed properly. Some people were overstretched and other teams were crowded.

Thanks so much for your review, it’s always great to see such positivity but we also really appreciate feedback on areas for improvement. It’s always challenging to ensure rapid growth is managed in the best way and we take a lot of pride in hiring exceptional Talent, even if it may take a little longer! As you’ve mentioned we could have managed this better so as we continue to grow we are developing a more robust headcount and workforce planning process to manage this – hopefully eliminating those growing pains!
