Count it.)</li> </ul> Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack. LEADERSHIP: We expect our leaders to be guiding lights for their teams. To support that, we provide leadership courses to sharpen their leadership abilities, including an in-house leadership coach.
