Aftermarket division is a sinking ship, lots of management confusions and lay-offs

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

matching 401K and health benefits, on the expense of low base salary

Cons

major lay-offs, unable to compete with small companies of less over-head. The big name of Bosch is misleading and lures you in, but seriously aftermarket division is different from other divisions of Bosch. No growth opportunity and prospect
