DRW Response

Thanks for the thoughtful review. DRW operates with a high degree of autonomy, and impact often comes from individuals proactively identifying problems and driving solutions. We recognize that this model can feel less structured at times, particularly early on, and we’re continuing to improve clarity around growth paths and opportunities for our employees. This helps!
