Excellent work life balance, HR and senior leadership listen to employees and follow through on implementing necessary changes, very organized considering the massive scale of Bosch globally (350,000 employees), great international opportunities to work and live abroad, the company supports and encourages inter-department moves/transitions to diversify role within the organization, generous bonuses and incentives, social responsibility and health of employees is highly valued, very competitive compensation

Cons

There are very few cons to working at Bosch - some people in management roles aren't spectacular. Managers could be held to a higher standard when it comes to support and development of the associates within their teams.
