Pros

Nice discounts, nice people, work from home option, cool products So much potential

Cons

Clueless management. Divided groups so people work in the same kind of work are sprinkled all over. Promotions don't go to those who are most skilled but to yes men. Work areas going downhill. Little respect for work space needs. Some work in like trough row- one long table where they can touch the person as they are so close and no room to sit with someone for training. Management has huge offices and spout off people want crowded open noisy work environments! And management has loud conversations in the halls! Really crap vacation! Not nearly enough!

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)
