Pros

It pays well and you have employee discount on Bose products

Cons

The company is completely lost without a clear direction, they treat employees like resources and not as people. They don't know how to develop software although they claim to be agile. HR are not human.

Pros

- Used to be hands down the greatest place to work. - The roots. Dr. Bose was a very insightful and innovative leader. He encouraged understanding the cusomers and not the competitor offerings. Used to be a great place to work. - Still some very smart people there.

Cons

- Unstable. Seemed to forget how to come up with great innovative products. Charter has unofficially Shifted from innovative products to "me too" product designs. - Top Heavy Management creates too much burocracy making it difficult to focus on what matters. When layoffs come around Management protects themselves and use the staff that actually does the work and understands what it involves as scapegoats. - Contract Manufacturing but "oversight" makes this model ineffective at saving cost. - What Management now views as "Oversight" is actually more aligned with micro-management which is often redundant, inefficient, and costly. - Lost connection with products and customers. Lost genuine passion for the products they create. Seem out of touch with what customers are looking for. - No clear/realistic plan for the future. What they do have are plans outside of their core competency (software) which they are reluctant to admit is a problem or correct.

Pros

Work life balance is great and work schedule.

Cons

Here we go. All test equip is not within calibration. 2014 is the last time anything was calibrated. The person responsible says test is is for reference only. what ever that means. Management cannot or will not hold anybody accountable. Corporate is woke and very liberal. no letter out to recognize veterans on veteran's day but the next week a letter from corporate to recognize trans remembrance day. First responders do not know how to access SDS. No SDS binder for rapid response. The current employee of the quarter has and continues to talk behind peoples back and degrades other female co workers behind their backs. Brags about not having to having a call with HR in x number of months.
