Pros

Work life balance is still commensurate with compensation. If you are a nerd you will be surrounded by nerds just like you.

Cons

No career growth at senior engineering level. Lateral moves are frowned upon. Incompetent/inexperienced top level management all the way to the CEO. Many executives used to be engineering nerds and have spent little time working for other companies or industries.

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)
