Pros

• Great company culture with close-knit teams, management prioritizes fun office and out-of-office team-building activities • Competitive entry-level salary with consistent annual increases (3–5%), plus excellent health, vision, and dental benefits • Strong creative freedom, I was able to revamp the entire social media strategy early in my career even as an intern • Opportunities to move into different roles within the company due to its large global presence • Supportive management that actively invested in my professional growth and tried their best to keep me at the company post-reorg • Good work-life balance, largely remote, with in-office attendance recommended (but not mandatory) on Tuesdays • Well-designed office space with adjustable desks • Fortune Global 500 company

Cons

• Social media workload was largely managed by me as the only U.S.-based associate, while the rest of the team was in Germany, Brazil, and Mexico, leading to time zone challenges and limited understanding of the U.S. market • Although in-office days were encouraged, most of my direct collaborators were based internationally, so I worked with no one in the office and just hopped on Teams calls • Transition to an open-concept and hoteling workspace reduced privacy compared to other divisions that retained cubicles like Power Tools and Dremel. Majority of desk monitors weren't ever fully connected, some were even missing monitors • Bosch Digital seemed like a waste of a department. We bought external products to resell to Bosch teams for more money. It just never made sense as a department and felt like we were backstabbing our own associates • Decision-making was slow at times due to the Germany-based leadership not understanding nor caring about the US market and their worker’s council approval process delaying decisions • Strict IT security policies made basic social media tasks (connecting cameras, hard drives, downloading and uploading assets, etc. ) take 2-3x as long • No research when making organizational changes or new hires. There's several reorgs every couple years. My US-based social media role was moved to Brazil after one year for cost-saving reasons • After my role was moved to Brazil, I interviewed for other internal positions to try and stay with the company that were later canceled due to budget constraints. Why are you posting and interviewing for the jobs then? It was a waste of both my and their time and effort.
