Business Outlook
Pros
Bose makes products that people enjoy - speakers and entertainment systems that allow people to enjoy their music. Also they hire brilliant people, so you're often engaged in intelligent conversations. If you enjoy seeing an innovation make its way from napkin sketch to real product you'll be able to - although it can take a long time.
Cons
The culture is very insular - at all levels - but at the center is an inner circle of senior management that seems almost completely cut off from the outside world. And in general the company takes itself way too seriously, with very strict rules about the most banal things (like parking). The cult of personality around Dr. Bose can get creepy at times, too.
