Good company, but...

Pros

Great pay and benefits, flexible work schedule

Cons

If you aren't in with the "right" people, you won't advance. They hired a person who was terminated previously rather than even consider me because she was a friend of the person doing the hiring. Not cool.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great respect for employees as a company culture. Large organization with global opportunities. In some areas there are very good senior managers.

Cons

Promotions and succession planning done for European employees, but not for US employees. Upper management is dysfunctional. The Bosch name is not what it used to be in terms of product quality.
