Bosch - A conservative company with good management, good job security and OK salary

Research engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The reason I joined Bosch was the opportunity to work on interesting topics in their Corporate Research department. For the most part the management in this department is competent, forward thinking and supportive of good ideas. Another plus is the high job security.

Cons

Bosch is a large company and that means a relatively large bureaucracy. Salary and benefits are low for the Bay Area. Local management has only limited autonomy in many important decisions including salary.

Business Outlook

Pros

Bosch is a socially responsible employer that creates real value for society through innovation and product development. The company is extremely international, offering great opportunities for high performing associates to work abroad.

Cons

As with many large companies, the rules and processes can be frustruating at times. The structure is somewhat bloated in Europe due to employment practices and difficulty in downsizing, which is a drag on overall company profitability.
