Pros

- Job Security very high, even through hard times. - Great opportunities for international assignments. - Bosch makes long term investments and sticks with them.

Cons

- Extremely bureaucratic culture - Extremely hierarchical culture - Multi discipline is predicated on corporate level, but in reality it is very hard to shake off one's "title" - Creativity is replaced by top-down protocols and orders - The HR department has literally two left feet; honestly it feels they work against the associate.
