Vantaggi
Bose is a challenging environment with no shortage of project work to keep busy. There are some great employees that still hold on to the fabric of what made the company great under Dr. Bose. The company has a great history from its beginning at MIT. Time will tell if it can become innovative enough to prosper in the future.
Svantaggi
The company had some really great years. It has seen its innovation slow and fall behind the competition. The company has been going through a significant restructuring in the last two years with the assistance of Bain Consulting. The company chose to sell its manufacturing plants to a major contract manufacturing firm. All of this with the goal of becoming more nimble and faster to market. Instead, product is taking longer to come to market and the stress of the restructuring has shredded the fabric of what made the company a great place to work. I stress to any job seekers to do your homework. Some of the reviews prior to mine seem either fake or created by the retail store employees that are insulated from the corporate environment. I enjoyed many good years with the company but knew it was time to retire early. I fear they may not be able to attract the right talent to lead Bose in a highly competitive environment.
