Pros

- interesting engineering problems - well-known, global brand - decent products

Cons

- organizational silos abound; complete chaos - company is run by Legal department - terrible work/life balance - rug pull on benefits for new hires; now same as any other company - passive-aggressive and tribal culture, lots of finger pointing and "not my job" phrased and presented with professional buzzwords so as not to offend - claims to be agile, isn't anywhere close - zero communication from leaders about actual objectives and milestones - zero training opportunities

Pros

Major transformation in progress. New Senior Leadership team making all the right moves. Transparent executive communications to employees. Shedding the old obsolete ways while keeping the Bose Essence

Cons

Lots of change all at once (but it is communicated - it is not a surprise)
