Pros
The people that work at Bose are great!
Cons
The company has been through multiple transitions in the past few years.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Employees are the best to work with
Cons
Leadership has difficulty executing and delivering
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people and innovative tech
Cons
Lots of management and restructuring
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Not a Cut Throat company, everyone works as a team to get to the finish line on projects or to solves issues. It does sound cliché but it does truly feel like family and I have met and have been able to grow with some of the smartest and authentic people at this company. If it wasn't for the people I would not have been here as long as I have.
Cons
Unclear company direction, strategy, and zero structure around work flow processes. But if things were a bit more structured I think the company would be even better.
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Great People to work with.
Cons
Going in the wrong direction.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
- Used to be hands down the greatest place to work. - The roots. Dr. Bose was a very insightful and innovative leader. He encouraged understanding the cusomers and not the competitor offerings. Used to be a great place to work. - Still some very smart people there.
Cons
- Unstable. Seemed to forget how to come up with great innovative products. Charter has unofficially Shifted from innovative products to "me too" product designs. - Top Heavy Management creates too much burocracy making it difficult to focus on what matters. When layoffs come around Management protects themselves and use the staff that actually does the work and understands what it involves as scapegoats. - Contract Manufacturing but "oversight" makes this model ineffective at saving cost. - What Management now views as "Oversight" is actually more aligned with micro-management which is often redundant, inefficient, and costly. - Lost connection with products and customers. Lost genuine passion for the products they create. Seem out of touch with what customers are looking for. - No clear/realistic plan for the future. What they do have are plans outside of their core competency (software) which they are reluctant to admit is a problem or correct.
