Pros

Hours were great (9-5). Other than that, there was nothing positive about this experience. I think I lost a few brain cells working here.

Cons

Where to begin... Just like the title states, this was the worst professional experience of my life. If you want to be stuck in a dead end job, doing the same exact thing every single day then Bose is the place for you! Don't even try to propose new ideas or change the system, it won't work. Why? Because it takes people months (sometimes years) to implement even the smallest of changes. Also, the employees are lazy. They are fine with the status quo. Heaven forbid they have to do work at some point during the day. Most of the day is spent trashing other employees (current and former), oh or burping at your desk like one of my lovely former colleagues did. Talk about professional!
