Motivation:
In the end, the rejection boils down to being transparent about the results; none of the reviewers suggested acceptance at this stage, which means a rejection here. Rather slow.

Motivation:
It was a very fast and efficient rejection experience. We got four (somewhat mixed) reviews of good quality, so later we improved a lot our manuscript based on the issues the reviewers raised. We appreciated very much the humane rejection letter and the short turnaround time.

Motivation:
Fast turnaround, but with ambiguous reviews it would have been useful to see them wait for a third review before deciding to reject.
