Bose has been great for me.

Pros

The people I work with are great, the products are generally well perceived, and generally people are well treated. Bose, being a privately held company, has been fairly stable.

Cons

The upper management at Bose makes a real effort to walk the talk of respect and fairness. Unfortunately, not all middle management takes that to heart. There is more political intrigue then the should be, or needs to be. There is a management practice duJour mentality that permeates this company. If six sigma is good, seven should be better. I don't know, maybe that's in every company.

Pros

The people were nice, and the team atmosphere was nice. The communication between departments seemed fluid. The pay was much more than I expected.

Cons

Everyone keeps to themselves a bit. Of course, I think it's due to the Bose QC3 headsets being so good.

Pros

Some VERY smart people but NOT all. Looks good on your resume and summer sale gives great discount to employees. If you are a real Engineer at heart and a local white boy its perfect for you - there are generation of people working here, dad, son, daughter all employeed at Bose.

Cons

IF you are not a citizen OR don't have a green card ... THIS COMPANY IS NOT FOR YOU. HR will give you tough time and is quite dominant in Bose (your manager doesn't have much say). Plus if you are not white chances are you won't go UP much esp NOT in upper management. Minority turnover is HUGE!!!
