Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
open and innovative leadership team
they are honest and open
Too many upper management members. Too much change
Trust each other, passion and work together
They care about creating a great culture
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Being human and actually working with they're staff.
Bose needs to clean house in terms of leadership. Everyone is out of touch.
Leading, innovating, culture, values, humanity
Everything! Dishonest, clueless, mean, incompetent. If you are not part of the "club", you'll be out the door in the next layoff. Culture is terrible. There is no "leadership", just clueless managers who act like little dictators who surround themselves with "yes" men.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Health and Pension and other benefits
they pay their employees fairly
Vacation and PTO policies are fair.
Pension plan is unique in this day in age.
in line with market benchmark
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel people don't appreciate my work, the impact it has. I want a higher salary as recognition, and a larger bonus too for the work accomplished and its impact
For years, management took advantage of hard-working ambitious workers. Take on more responsibilities, with a raise promised later, but then it never comes, and managers lie right to your face.
No clear path forward, hard and stressful job, long hours, I feel taken for granted
I get paid less then $2,000 a month before taxes But sell between $30,000-80,000 worth of product in a month
I have tackled and solved hard technical problems, and I do not think I've been adequately rewarded. Higher salary, larger bonus.

It all comes from management. If managers are dishonest and paranoid and stupid, they won't listen to any suggestions. If you suggest something, you are the problem, because you can't criticize the boss. Smart vocal people with fresh ideas all leave. What's left are people who don't care or are dumb
people need to be less stressed, less dismissive and condescending
HR, from the HR executive down to the HR managers do a poor job. They work to make sure that this fact is hidden from the executive team. They provide the actual employee as little support as possible.
What did you like most about the interview process?
open and friendly conversation and timely feedback
It was all in one day and didn't have to wait much time for the offer.
It was quick because I was a contractor. It is a lot tougher to get in as an employee.
meeting all the team at the time
personalized discussion to understand company fitment

What makes you most happy at work?
strong commitment to professional development
working with brilliant and happy engineers
working and interesting and tough problems, with potential high impact on the company
brand value, product quality technology
Coworker and what little money I receive
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
chasing trends is not the way
Change the culture where managers don't listen to smart employees. Smart vocal employees are driven away because their input is ignored. End up with dumb managers surrounded by people afraid or unwilling to question the failing process. Anyone who sees it failing either leaves or is laid off
everything, and too late now
What do you like best about your company?
Culture of trust. Everyone is valuable.
