Great benefits but pay is not competitive. Little chance of advancement unless you speak German.

Pros

I read through most of the other Robert Bosch reviews and was shocked to learn how accurate they are! I have worked for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. I don't believe any other automotive company can offer more job security. I have never experienced any type of fear of loosing my job. A lot can be said for that in todays economy. Good work/life balance with telecommuting from home.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities are very limited for those that are not fluent in German. I hate to say that, but it really is true.

Has been a good place to earn a salary to raise a family, but lack of promotion, is unacceptable

Pros

Very secure company financially, very seldom if ever is there a lay off, benefits are pretty good when compared to other companies

Cons

Even though this division is in the USA, all the important shots are called from Germany, where they do not understand the market place or Bosch image in the USA. Have very complex methods of doing business.
