Pros

The company focuses on quality of work - engineering, marketing, sales, etc. The product is of high quality and is manufactured to high standards. In certain divisions it also focuses intently on innovation which is exciting and allows you to think about things beyond what is being sold and made today.

Cons

The corporate culture is very stuffy and formal. The infrastructure is very outdated - meeting rooms without projectors built-in, a terrible intranet and no easy way to find information, not a focus on today's programming/software technology. It's very old school and stuck in old ways.

Pros

Major transformation in progress. New Senior Leadership team making all the right moves. Transparent executive communications to employees. Shedding the old obsolete ways while keeping the Bose Essence

Cons

Lots of change all at once (but it is communicated - it is not a surprise)
