Pros

Very stable global player with high attention to innovation and long term growth. Private company with a longer term view. Ample opportunities for foreign assignments.

Cons

Compensation strategy is not high end salaries. In the last decade Bosch has migrated from an internationally minded company back to a German company -- divisional leadership boards all in Germany. Very high degree of control from Germany right down to the very details of every day work processes.

Has been a good place to earn a salary to raise a family, but lack of promotion, is unacceptable

Pros

Very secure company financially, very seldom if ever is there a lay off, benefits are pretty good when compared to other companies

Cons

Even though this division is in the USA, all the important shots are called from Germany, where they do not understand the market place or Bosch image in the USA. Have very complex methods of doing business.
