Pros

Bose has a strong concentration of very smart, motivated engineers, and there is tremendous support for professional development within the company. It is very satisfying to work on consumer products that people love. Bose has a culture of strong shared values that runs very deep, and although sometimes it seems like people are "drinking the kool-aid", the values are actually genuine at the highest levels of management. In most of the company, work/life balance is valued and supported (this is not true in the automotive division).

Cons

The lack of adequate parking is a surprisingly big problem. Leadership in new product planning is very weak. The cafeteria is terrible.

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)
