Bose reviews

The culture has changed, some for better, some for worse. It is more processed focused, only that the balance of creativity and process seems not there yet, no risk taking for excellence anymore; Product offerings are narrowly focused, thus not many growth opportunities; career advancement is really in question, depends on who you are connected for the most part, seems believe that external is better than internal talents; politics are big, playing accounting tricks in some areas ; very poor human skills of some lower and middle managers, mostly hired recent 3-5 years, kissed up and kicked down, lowered moral...

Bose is an awesome place to work--and they know it. For anything other than an engineering position, they probably wont hire you unless theyve had a chance to "try you out--" prepare to be a contractor for a long time. Even then there are no guarantees youll get hired. I was a contractor filling in for a woman that had left the company abruptly. They kept me in her position for a year, then the company finally posted the position for official hire for a permanent person. Even though I was told I was doing a great job, they told me I'd actually have to interview for it (yes, for the job that I had been doing for a YEAR--already knew the job, everyone in my dept and had a great relationship w/ management and staff) Even though all my colleagues wrote glowing letters of recommendation AND made phone calls on my behalf, they STILL gave the job to someone else-an outsider at that! When I asked the hiring manager why??? she told me she felt the person she hired would stay longer in the position in the long run because this was more in line with her "career path." Turns out that girl left after a year. Unbelievable. All that work for nothing.
