Hello, thank you for your feedback - appreciate you taking the time to send this, and sorry that you obviously experienced some areas of frustration. When we acquire companies, we do try as much as possible to have our R&D teams consolidated into our Dev Centers. This is a critical part of the culture of collaboration and information sharing we have built. The teams actively work together on brainstorming and idea-generation, and this is much more easily facilitated when the team is co-located in a single office.
Having said this, as you may know from our recent acquistion of HookLogic, we will actually sustain their Dev Center in Ann Arbor, because of the critical mass of employees that we already have their - and the criticality of their talent.
With our engineering teams, consolidation is important (and one of our top strengths), however we are practical on what makes the most sense in terms of supporting and promoting the growth of our business.
Unfortunately it sounds like this was not for you, and we regret that we weren't able to make this fit in with your own personal priorities.
Best, HR
