      Big company, which brings pros-and-cons

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They take care of their employees - lots of education, opportunity, and learnings. Sometimes to a fault (eg, a lot of is forced on you) - but they really do want to keep employees for decades and invest in them. Also, there are very few limitations on moving. I watched people move from Automotive to Healthcare to Energy Projects. There's a lot of mobility (mostly sideways, but still interesting)

      Cons

      If you are not German - and I hate to say it, but, it's true - and Male, it's hard to get ahead. For all the lip service to diversity and equality, it was very clear there were two classes of workers - the folks that came over from Germany or were German nationals, and the rest of us. Getting a woman into a leadership position was almost impossible.

      Bosch is a large company with roughly 402,000 associates in around 60 countries and this definitely comes with a lot of challenges, as you mentioned. Therefore, your feedback is really important so we can keep moving forward. Thanks a lot for leaving us a review! — Your Bosch Team

      Company with Terrible Management

      Non titled marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, great 401k match, mediocre but cheap insurance.

      Cons

      Management does not listen to experienced people. Things are done 'the Bosch way' and they don't work in the US market, requiring high pricing of their goods. Broadview, Il. offices seem to be set up as a location to send Germans for positions that could be filled by Americans. Many positions have been relocated to Mexico for lower wages.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Bosch has been around for more than 130 years and, as with any large company, adapting to a new mindset is definitely a challenge, but our 130+ long history has also taught us that cultural diversity is a key factor in the development of potential for the long-term corporate success of Bosch. -- Your Bosch Team.
