Hello,

we are sorry that you did not discuss your concerns directly with us. We value open communication and believe that direct dialogue can often lead to more effective resolutions. Nonetheless, we are pleased to read that your manager was supportive and that you understand our vision: "The company wants to change the world by providing e-mobility services to customers"! This indicates that our communication efforts have had some positive impact. We take your feedback seriously and will use it as constructive input to improve further.

However, we have already made significant progress in several areas you mentioned:

- Career Growth & Development: While Degreed is one tool, it is not the only instrument we offer to Ellians. We finalized our Grading system which is the base for a clear and consistent Career Growth & Development plan. Furthermore, as presented in our Company Meeting, we will be implementing a comprehensive Development Path to provide clearer career growth opportunities. We also encourage all employees to take initiative in their development, this is why we implemented the additional Technical Training budget for more flexibility to support employees on their individual needs. If you have specific training interests not listed in Degreed, our Talent Management team is always available to support such requests. It's unfortunate that you did not take advantage of these options.

- Chaos, yet many processes: Elli has transitioned from the start-up to scale-up phase: what you describe is characteristic of this transformation. We are continuously working to streamline our processes in order to enhance efficiency and reduce complexity and chaos.

- Strategy & long-term goals: The Strategy team has put on much effort in communicating and sharing our long term strategic goals since earlier this year: in the dedicated All-Hands Meeting, in the weekly updates on Slack... This information is regularly emphasized in Company Meetings as well as in the general All-Hands by the Management Board and by the people who are leading the topics. Information about our strategy is therefore accessible on different channels. We regret you missed these communications.

- More VPs than departments: This point seems inconsistent, as each Vice President leads a department. Thus, the number of VPs corresponds to the number of departments.

It appears you may not have fully explored the opportunities available at Elli. For any further clarifications, we encourage you to reach out to our HR team or schedule a virtual coffee meeting to discuss all possibilities again. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to address your concerns.
