Bose Reviews

Pros

Bose is a great company, with innovative products that have the potential to change the world. They care for their employees and do their best to help everyone succeed.

Cons

The strategic directly has not been as clear the last few years, with constant reorganization of major functions within the company.

Pros

Great learning enviroment and if you work hard as a team the bonuses are very generous. Team commission makes it so that nobody is fighting over sales.

Cons

They don't always promote from within and often hire mangers from outside of the company which makes for difficult transition and requires a period of time for the new employee to understand the culture of the store. In the mean time it is left to the rest of the team to unofficially train the new manager, or suffer while they try to impliment thier own ideas...that may or may not work.

Advice to Management

Have faith in your employees that move up the chain. If they know thier store well reward them with a promotion.

Pros

stable, owned by MIT, solid foundation, employees are valued, customers are valued, not the highest paying but not the lowest either.

Cons

not the highest paying (but also not the lowest).

Pros

Stable company if you are full time

Cons

Low salary compared to other Boston companies. Very political if you want to get promoted

Pros

Great products and marketing with strong emphasis on research. Dr. Bose lives on within the cadre of staff that carry forward. Good compensation, benefits, and work - life balance. This company is more than great headphones.

Cons

I’m new to the company and quite proud to be a part of a growing, diverse team. However, I’ve witnessed serious lapses in respect for one another even with the core values that the company promotes. Borderline tantrums from individual contributors as more senior staff openly disrespected them, for example. I’ve been around for awhile but this really surprised me and I hope it is isolated. It seems that, for some, speaking...

Advice to Management

Keep holding town halls and try to be accessible to what is mostly a flat organization. This company needs ideas to succeed and some of the behaviors I’ve observed in terms of respect, or lack of, may diminish creativity and breakthroughs.

Pros

People, culture, benefits and general work environment. Mentor ship and growth opportunities

Cons

Company was struggling to adapt to changing tech environment and it showed- management was not transparent at the time

Pros

Great and fun products to work on Great people

Cons

Executives do not have a good plan for the future. Company is outsourcing most of their engineering.

Pros

A good place to retire

Cons

I don't recommend this for women, it's a boys club, and an old boys club at that
