Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working at Bose in the modern era. They are completely lost from top to bottom when it comes to talent and technology stacks.

Cons

Its tough to list out all of the issues they have, but I will attempt: -The current CEO is a Mckinsey shill that was brought in and did nothing but further the decline of the company (see later bullets) -She brought in Mckinsey (shocker) to evaluate the overall business and they could not have got the assessment more incorrect (another shocker). They, as all consultants do, decided to axe the growth opportunities in favor of what they thought were 'safe plays' to expand the business. -While they were investigating the business she lied to health employees about the plan and what the next steps were. -The products are pieces of crap from a bluetooth integration standpoint. You cannot make worse connection logic or ask for a worse user experience compared to apple or google. It's absolutely embarrassing.

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)
