Customer service (tech support etc) is starting to decline. Long hold times, farmed out, etc. Innovation has been a little limited in the past few years.

Pros

People and products are great. Company has most definitely seen Better days. Dr Bose was a visionary and a true leader. He will forever live on in the hearts of all Bose Alumni.

Cons

BOSE, unfortunately lost their leader. They are left with a bunch of Managers who are unable to move forward without soliciting guidance from an outside firm. Bose was founded on their essence and values not they are defined by their lack there of.

Pros

People, products, technology, total package. A great research company with amazing technical assets to analyze problems.

Cons

With the continued implementation of the recommendations of (the company that came in to make us better), and the ongoing changes, the future is not looking brighter. Pressure to compete on low dollar products in markets flooded with options is causing extreme business changes as people shift from purchasing more expensive high $ items. Employees are suffering as a result. Outsourcing and downsizing continues.
