Complete and total managerial incompetence. The company is stuck in the past, and has no idea how to develop quality software. Product quality has plummeted due to out of control outsourcing. Good luck if you try calling customer support. Repeated cycles of layoffs destroyed morale. It is so sad.
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was quick because I was a contractor. It is a lot tougher to get in as an employee.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
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.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
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
What are some of the best things about your team?
There were lots of good people. But there is a big experience gap. There are many who have been at Bose for 15-20 years, and a lot who have been there 1-3 years. But very few people with 5-10 years experience at Bose. So many layoffs, and they keep the long term employees who can't leave.
