Business Outlook

Pros

High salary and good benefits, relatively functional corporate culture; however, execution of recent large RIF may have destroyed it.

Cons

Executive management periodically proclaimed the need to trust them and would drive this home as a trait for everyone, meanwhile leaks were coming back from competing companies to bosch employees. Bosch had been trying to sell off its US brakes division and had succeed in part to Akebono.
