Pros

Opportunity to take on new challenges. Previous CEO and director of Engineering were amazing leaders

Cons

Caught in the hierarchy of women who don't want successors of the same gender - poor management, managers who are more concerned with their own growth and not their employees, empty promises after accomplishing goals

Pros

Good benefit package. Highly recognized company. There are still some good people left. If you can work for one of the few good managers left, you will shine.

Cons

The general atmosphere is paranoia, low moral and uncertainty. When Bose had it's second round of layoffs they let go so many highly qualified, good people and kept many bad employees. Now the general feeling is watch your back. It looks like Bose just wants to sell personal audio and only to mass retailers and online retailers. I don't think all this would be going on if Dr. Bose was still around. Bane Capital has ruined a great company

Pros

Hard pressed to see anything positive.

Cons

Restructuring is ongoing, you can get no clear answers as to what else is planned, what to expect, except to be told "no one knows". The people who are left now are doing the work of 2 or 3, at least, just to try to stay employed.
