Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback. We're glad you recognize the benefits of a large organization, including career growth opportunities and a strong customer base. At the same time, we hear your concerns about the evolving company culture, frequent restructures, and the uncertainty they create—especially at senior levels. Your point about the need to look beyond surface-level trends and focus on genuinely valuing employees at all levels is well taken. Rebuilding a positive, stable, and inclusive culture is essential, and insights like yours are crucial in guiding that effort.
