Pros

Great group of peers at the engineer level. Product discounts. Company is pretty stable. Good beneifts. Decent starting salaries, just don't stay too long or you'll fall behind the rest of the world. This was a great environment 5 years ago.

Cons

IT workers viewed as commodities and not valued by IT management and their superiors, all the way to the top. Input is largely disregarded by management. Lots of politics. Very secretive. Ask folks who are in the trenches; they're not happy. The IT organization has really gone down hill in the last 5 years

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)
