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.

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.
