Pros

Very unique and respectful work environment with great engineering talent. Lots of learning opportunities exist. Communication with other engineers across the company is easy. Company is very stable and private and knows how to handle hard times to succeed long term. Exciting research projects!

Cons

Very secretive environment at times. Benefits and environment do not match some other newer technology companies - Google, Microsoft, etc. Bose is old fashioned and conservative in some aspects.

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)
