Thank you for your review, for clarity we'd like to share that our promotion process is 360-degree, meaning this is not only the direct manager's decision, it is also peer-reviewed and decisions are made by a committee; we give our X-perts opportunities for development and support them to keep developing into their new roles. With our integration with TripleLift now we have more tools for recognition and encouragement like bonusly. Thanks for your comments that help us improve as a company.
