Pros

The product is high quality. Pay was competitive for the area. The job comes with decent perks.

Cons

The company went downhill after Dr. Bose passed. Many of the management team are completely out of touch with the workers. Management is focused on their own advancement, and they will betray their workers to make themselves look good. Promotions were based on who you know, not what you do. The pay used to be competitive, but it didn't adjust to compensate for new competitors.

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

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