- Strategic culture hasn't made it to all divisions of the company yet
- The HQ office in Germany still has limited visibility to very innovative projects and expertise in the US
- Although Bosch wants to be more Agile, it's still a HUGE company and making changes is like steering the Titanic; we are still very powerpoint/email driven; little gets done without 3-4 processes
- Some processes make it impossible to be strategic
- Bosch is very conservative, but that also means its a very safe company
- Employees are expected to take the reigns when it comes to building a network and developing a career path - there is very little strategic support from the local HR department in that area unless you are selected for the special development programs (which are basically like accelerator programs for people's careers)
- Despite diversity initiatives, there are still very few females in upper-level management roles and females are treated very differently than men in not-so-obvious but very impactful ways (i.e. salary, less upfront credibility)
- This facility needs better workspace furniture and more on-site perks to be attractive (old cubes from 15 years ago, no free coffee/food, no workout, no "fun" spaces)
