10yI’d like to address a few of the comments in this review. We are striving to make Proper a great place to work and develop one’s career. As I’ve addressed in previous responses, we did experience a huge amount of growth last year. In addition, while we operate with a start-up mentality, we are in fact, a 10-year-old company. As such, we have a technology platform that needs to be updated as quickly as possible. Our engineering and product teams have been working tirelessly to rewrite our platforms and improve our products, and they have made amazing progress in just the past few months. We recognize that the team has gone above and beyond. As a management team, we are focused on making sure these teams have what they need to do their jobs effectively.
In terms of our HR function, this team is working hard to bring great people to our company. They are a lean team given our hiring and growth pace. We have an aggressive plan to build out our HR function by adding business partners, learning and development resources, and further developing our HR operations team.
Finally, In terms of “shady things,” that couldn’t be further from the truth. We operate a very transparent business and are a highly regulated company. We file quarterly and yearly financial statements, and we are committed to operating a business that adheres to the highest standards, both ethically and financially. For all of us personally, professionally, and culturally, it is essential that we run a customer-friendly, transparent and ethical business.
