Pros

The products are fun! The technology is interesting. There are many opportunities for testing product and in some cases purchasing productsat discounted prices. You are never without something to work on. Most roles or positions have a broad range of activities that are expected of you, so you have a significant variation in the work that you are doing day to day. Keeps it from being boring. Health benefits are good, pretty much in line with other major corporations. They still do offer a non HMO health planas well as a major HMO, dental, vision and tuition reimbursment.

Cons

There is no work/life balance. In some business functions, minorities are highly under represented and those minorities have a high turnover rate.

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)
