Pros

Decent benefits, great people at the local office. Responsive, forward-looking management. Training and employee support is encouraged.

Cons

Multinational aspects make coordinating a major challenge. Expect to have teleconferences early in the AM with Germany, and late in the evening with asian countries. Depending on position, a lot of travel may be required. Bureaucratic friction with the larger organization (especially IT) is also a common nuisance.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Bosch has been around for more than 130 years and, as with any large company, adapting to a new mindset is definitely a challenge, but our 130+ long history has also taught us that cultural diversity is a key factor in the development of potential for the long-term corporate success of Bosch. -- Your Bosch Team.

Cons

- Very late nights in some departments - Very few women in mid- and upper-level positions, despite many female interns and entry-level associates -- suggests issues in company culture - No oversight of poor management - Lose better employees to companies with stock options
