Pros

Respect is a core value at Bose and it was evident among my colleagues. I really liked how they were willing to 'test' new projects to learn from it. The Corporate HQ is a beautiful place to work though with a few quirks.

Cons

Bose is working on becoming a more marketing driven company but without a seasoned CMO, it's going to take longer than necessary and with a few hiccups on the way.

Pros

Music and movies playing all day. Fun products, pretty chill during the week. Pay could be worse I suppose.

Cons

Pay could be good with the bonuses if they were reachable(they arent). Very snobby culture, never admits fault with any products. DM came from a holiday card/ornament background, completely uneducated as far as technology, stereos. Management was unhelpful with any issues involving work life such as pay concerns, advancement opportunity, bullying, treatment etc. There are worse jobs for sure but dont plan on making this anything permanent. Part time for a year is all id suggest.

Pros

- Incredibly smart people who have a passion for delivering great products - Majority of employees are humble and are happy to dedicate time to help you learn - They take the time to hire people who will fit well in Bose culture and dedicate a good portion of the interview process learning about you as a person - Because they take their time to find the right people, employees are given serious responsibility - 50% employee discount all-year round is an awesome perk

Cons

- Other perks/environment are fair but a little more emphasis could be placed on updated certain office areas, on-site gym, etc. (although they nail the areas that truly matter - people, culture, meaningful work)
