As someone who has tried to work with them, I'd say no it doesn't. They are not responsive, very slow to do anything and frankly are more of a product API than a real innovation team. I'd love to see more from this group, I'd love to see them engage with the people in the labs forum more!

I'm curious to know what you were trying to reach out about. That team is massive (they have their own floor).

I cannot be specific in the open, but if you look at my profile you might be able to take a guess.

Frankly my experiences are limited to the Walmart Open API that came out of labs, so likely I'm just looking at a very small portion of what they're really doing (I'd guess most of which is for in house audiences).

Plus offices in two other countries. The Bangalore office has at least a floor in a large shared building.
