Hi there Circles.Lifer! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, we do see where you are coming from. We would like to emphasize that our twin R&D center in Bangalore is of utmost importance to our business and we are extremely proud of our Circles.Lifers who have contributed to our growth and success. As we undergo rapid expansion across several countries, we try to minimize communication problems by providing weekly Monday Meetings with all teams. This is so that international offices are all updated and in sync. We are also working on improving cross-border processes that could help to improve our workflow as an international team. To address your concern regarding stock options and salary, we recently began rolling out internal communications to clarify the protocol and address Circles.Lifers’ concerns. We hope you will join in the sharing sessions that have been allocated to your team or department. Do keep an eye out for the calendar invite in your inbox. Please reach out to your manager or HRBP for assistance if you require additional support. We're here to help! We’re also happy to address any other grievances/concerns you may have at talent-network@circles.asia. Once again, thank you for writing a review.
