for prose.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove duplicated lines: there is some duplication of benefits description later in About WSP. We should include benefits only once, with the substantive content. The duplicated lines: "WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits..." appears twice. We'll include once.
We need to remove EEO etc. At end there is EEO statement and notice to third party agencies. Remove those.
Also remove "About WSP" maybe? It's somewhat generic but includes info about flexible workplace model and benefits repeated. Could be considered boilerplate but also includes some info about the company. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About WSP" is not explicitly listed but could be considered boilerplate. However, it's not navigation/legal/EEO etc. It's a company description. Might be okay to keep but we need to prefer few substantive sections. Could combine into "About the role" or omit. Since we already have About the role section, we could skip About WSP.
