Pros

Great pay, nice people, work life balance, guy in charge is cool. Since it is part of Bosch there is a sense of job security. The battery business can be unforgiving to the employees. Many of the employees are thoughtful and seem to enjoy each other.

Cons

Level below the guy in charge are clowns but not evil clowns, first level mangers are OK, seem to care. A handful engineers have figured out how to keep a job and have really bad, petty attitudes or incompetence. Not all, but one departments is worse than others.

Great place to learn about the manufacturing, engineering, logistics, international business industry. Very helpful in developing my skills. The reason I changed my major to supply chain management and logistics

Very corporate. Can take a while to make some changes. Lots of different departments that must communicate with each other. Sometimes certain points or ideas can get lost in translation.
