Serious question - Can you talk a bit about how you support emotional / mental health for your employees?

Hey, yep! I'd say it's a combination of several things:
- team / coworker support
- we have access to group wellness sessions with therapists
- we have access to individual wellness sessions with therapists
- we bake limited exposure into our products / dev environments
- overall attitude of wellness and self-care through the entire org from top to bottom (for instance, we have "unlimited" style PTO that everybody actually uses and is encouraged to use for wellness, _in addition_ to three weeks that the entire org shuts down over the holidays)
I may be forgetting something, those are just the biggest impact things for me as a software engineer.
