I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bose (Westborough, MA) in Feb 2014
Interview
The interview process was thorough, long, and well structured. Communication from HR was timely, precise, and informative. They were responsive whenever I had questions, and provided a full agenda in advance for every interview appointment. Interviewers were professional, and they tried to assess both my professional and personal ability to fit in.
Interview process is super long (2 months) with recruiters being Randstad contractors and non responsive. When they do get back, they call you out of no where. The process was as follows, I talked to the hiring manager, then there was a presentation panel interview with 5 (two didn't show up), followed by five 1:1 interviews (interviewers showed up late). A few other observations, this company is old school corporate, meaning it is quite hierarchal, siloed, and and set in their ways. The interviewers kept saying that one way or another.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bose (Boston, MA) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process was very long, about 3 hours a day for 5 days. I met a lot of very talented people, but I don't know if I would say that the work that you needed to put in was worth it. There was very little feedback after those 15 hours and a presentation.
Multiple phone interviews with hiring manager and HR, in person interviews with cross-functional managers I would be working with. The process took a long time, but I was hired in the end.
