Pros

Sadly - None at this time

Cons

Terrible upper management (Director up to President). President was fired a couple months ago but that is too little too late. Outsourced all manufacturing and now some of the engineering work to China. This is failing miserably. Offered early retirement and then laid off all of their seasoned talent to be replaced by younger inexperienced people over the past 3 years. This has resulted in new products that literally don't work and/or can't be manufactured so the projects get cancelled. I'm not sure this company is going to survive more than a few years. If it does, it will be a much smaller company. This has all come about over the past 5 years with Dr. Bose's passing. So sad to see. They have announced more layoffs are coming.

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)
