Pros

Pro-employee. Excellent benefits. Good core values and global management team.

Cons

Highly political management. Poor maternity/paternity benefits in US. Political climate allows lots of employees that contribute very little to remain employed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Although gone are the days of the pension, they offer great 401k match, low cost premiums for Medical, Dental, Vision, etc. among many other incentives. If you have the right boss, the job is really flexible. I can work from home a few days a month. We have busy times where we work late, but in the slow times nobody complains if you leave a little early. My previous 3 bosses have all worked with me to implement a development plan to help me move up and achieve my goals.

Cons

The structure is HUGE. I report data to at least 4 different management groups (local, regional, business unit, product specific...). This causes a lot of waste in my opinion. Also they can be really slow to adopt new policies and with the large management sometimes getting buy-in for improvements is impossible. Your development really depends on your direct supervisor. I've been lucky, but I have colleagues who try to set up a 5 year plan with their boss and they get 0 support.

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.
