Pros

- employee discount on products - Dr. Bose’s legacy and philosophy - diversification of product ecosystem

Cons

- FULL of politics, especially in the CIS and Data Science division - constant re-orgs and poor people management - lack of clear understanding and leadership on software development lifecycle - huge cycle between concept to production and lack of clarity around product ownership - always playing catch-up on UX features with competition - Engineering Research teams are very inexperienced and deliver toy concepts as candidates for production deployments

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)
