Business Outlook

Pros

Bosch has great products and strong engineering to support the Customer. Great opportunity to grow work skills and work with large OEM customers. Good benefits package and job security. Opportunity to work in locations across the USA and overseas are plentiful once you are employed for 18 months. A good place to work but you must follow all policy's and be prepared to spend a lot of time making charts, presentations and documenting your work.

Cons

Must work at a high level from day 1 and expected to take on more tasks each year. Promotions are hard to come by so don't expect to be a rising star even with hard work. Very bureaucratic as most key decisions come from the German Corporate Leadership. Pays is good but most who leave the company find higher paying positions.
