If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at L2?

Hire better, more interesting, less toxic people. Encourage an environment of collaboration and openness (don’t put internal teams against one another, they’re all creating research).

Champagne Friday’s don’t solve your people problem... you need a dedicated person for this.

the culture at L2 focuses on the status quo and relies on very antiquated technology. The only change that matters would be adopting a culture of change and improvement - which is difficult since their entire stack relies on 1990s era temptations technology.
