Pros

When you work at Bosch you get swept up in the feeling, that you are proud of the companies history and their engineering disciplines. Like most other german engineering companies, you will get a chance to work with very skilled and intelligent engineers.

Cons

The satellite locations are mainly focused on customer support and systems integration work. So if you are looking for core engineering work, you have to be in Germany or India. As for the US, the management is really standard American, so it won't be filled with PhD's, but rather lots of non-technical yes-men.
