Bose reviews

Bose has only recently realized that its primary product is no longer the hardware they deliver to their customers, but rather the experiences offered by the software which runs on and interacts with that hardware. The company is still learning how to adapt to this new world, and this affects everything from decision making, to product ideation, to product delivery schedules. While the great number of long term employees is an indication that the company is doing something right for its employees, there are also draw backs. At times the company seems to have bought too much into its own (internal) mythology, and needs to be better at taking a broader view and getting a broader perspective. To be fair, this is starting to happen.

Went through a period of restructuring/changes that left one's head spinning, and wondering how long it would be until you found yourself on the chopping block. What used to be a company that one aspired to work for, that one felt proud about telling their family about, has turned into just another global company. I am left feeling that everything is now average, and I'm just a number that could be easily let go whenever it's decided they can outsource my job. In talking to others and researching salary averages for what I do, I found it's rather abysmal in comparison. I don't look for comps anymore, it's too depressing. But hey, at least I have a job, unlike a lot of my former coworkers.
