Pros

Great products and lower level employees that are truly passionate about the company

Cons

Far too many VP's that are in current roles simply by cutting heads. VP's that bankrupted their previous employer, did nothing to deserve the current role they have and now are on their way to bankrupting Bose. And when the going gets tough - they cut heads (except for those that should have been cut, like their own. Far too much reliance now on outside consultants and zero vision or strategy especially from those in charge of that area. Dr Bose was the visionary who created this company and grew a thriving culture that is now starting to fail. He cared first about people and technology, and with that simple belief, the company flourished and grew. Now the focus is sales growth and profits with people being a commodity. And chasing other innovative companies instead of truly innovating and blazing their own trail.

Lots of change all at once (but it is communicated - it is not a surprise)
