Pros

For the most part, it's a stable job, especially in the support staff. Marketing positions seem to be volatile however. Benefits are pretty good, people are friendly. Plenty of training available, and tools are made readily available to perform your job. Feedback sessions are common, open door policy with most managers and supervisors......some departments tend to micro manage the staff, which is justified in some cases but can go overboard. good bonus program, tuition reimbursement, employee discounts and loaner programs. some departments have very flexible schedules available, work at home allowed, it all depends on which department you work.

Cons

can be a secretive environment. quality issues with some products.

Pros

The discount. 25-50% off retail price isn't bad when you consider the retail price on any given product. The environment is very dedicated to learning and training.

Cons

The company is reactionary to issues, not proactive. Whether the issue is product related or employee related, the hesitation is there and none, if very little information is given about an issue until after the fact; if the issue is product related, no detailed information is given.

Pros

Very unique and respectful work environment with great engineering talent. Lots of learning opportunities exist. Communication with other engineers across the company is easy. Company is very stable and private and knows how to handle hard times to succeed long term. Exciting research projects!

Cons

Very secretive environment at times. Benefits and environment do not match some other newer technology companies - Google, Microsoft, etc. Bose is old fashioned and conservative in some aspects.
