Pros

It was a corporate nine to five, reliable with opportunity to work overtime. It filled the role of being a job to make scratch, and did so reliably for years. They always dealt with me squarely, so far one can do so in the corporate world, and they had a pretty relaxed business environment. It was definitely a tolerable place to work.

Cons

I have no real complaints, though there's room for improvement. Entirely unremarkable so far as corporations go, no real vision, constantly playing catch-up to other companies on the market, so there wasn't much of a sense of energy or motivation. No one at any level seemed really invested in the company. Constantly changing business plans. We didn't get through a whole year without all our goals changing, some new objective becoming the end-all be-all and the old end-all be-all never mentioned again. Pretty standard in the business world. Pay was consistently substandard, especially in regard to their contractors. Maybe 60-80% of market average. They've also been outsourcing recently, and laying people off as a result. Lost quite a few this year, more than a hundred. Take away is that one should be wary signing onto Bose as a long-term career.

Pros

Great team to work with. All of them are passionate about the work and have outstanding individual design skills that reflect in the products they release.

Cons

The team is getting smaller and smaller, much like some reviews, the company seems to care less about the future development.
