Cons

Very slow growth to higher levels.

Outsourcing and reducing costs.

Parking benefits are better than commuter benefits.

Advice to Management

There is a lot of fluff. Too many events, parties, outings. Cut it and put it back into the company.

Focus on growth.

Cambridge is very expensive to find talent and travel. Not sure why we spend so much money trying to maintain the Cambridge office.

Allow employees to WFH.
