Pros

A few good products. Bonuses even though the company wasnt making any money. Good work life balance. Really nice corporate offices

Cons

Nepotisim runs wild. Middle management is ineffective and many have been there for a long time. Home entertainment products are overpriced and dont meet market needs.

Pros

Interesting innovations make Bose a fascinating place to be able to visit and work. There are more engineers than any other division and they have some incredible talent.

Cons

The "Bose Culture" is where the innovation ends. Great ideas are shot down constantly and, if you submit too many new concepts, you can find yourself being questioned about your understanding of the Bose Culture. This means that opportunities being opened to you are shut down. Just an unimpressive management team who spent so much time glad handing themselves that they forgot how to make business happen.

Pros

Nice facilities, employee discounts, competent colleagues, high hiring standards.

Cons

With a few exceptions, Corporate HR was the biggest collection of purely politically motivated people I had ever worked with. HR morale was very low. Pretty ironic! Leadership was poor. Compared to other departments, HR was the armpit of the whole corporation.
