Bosch reviews

1. frequently incompetent and inefficient management: people without either aptitude for or leadership training tend to be promoted into leadership roles 2. highly political and opaque organization: a lot of decisions are made behind the closed doors. It is impossible to receive a rationale for dubious business decisions 3. slow, cumbersome and unclear bureaucracy: e.g. purchasing, hiring, contracting, etc. take months hampering actual work. This factor contributed to a very high employee churn for a few departments 4. very limited decision-making on site: everything has to be approved in Germany by multiple stakeholders. Thus, dozens of project proposals get stuck for years. This practice is unacceptable in the Silicon Valley 5. hollow values and ethics principles. Bosch highly advertised fairness, ethics, life-work balance, compliance and diversity principles get easily neglected, especially by the management
