Business Outlook

Pros

Stable, Deliberate Management navigate uncertain times well. The management team seems confident in the long-range business plan to grow North American business. Professional Development has strong commitment from the Top Down. Even in tough economic times, the management team openly admits and advises other managers to keep developing their employees through external and internal training courses. Private company, no answering to Wall Street's quarterly results. Bosch builds a long-term strategy for growth and success, which makes it a very comfortable place to work at during turbulent times.

Cons

Sometimes the management can be too conservative to capture opportunities Pace of change can be frustrating Large corporate structure can feel old world management style to younger employees

Pros

Chance to work internationally. The company is so big that reading on review will not provide much relevant information; my experience with Bosch was very negative, you may fare better than me.

Cons

Very political and they do not seem to be concerned with helping employees do a better job.

Pros

International company with potential for world travel.

Cons

Being a German owned company, most of the key or senior positions were given to Germans. This does not give the local residents the opportunity for growth nor does it motivate an individual to work hard it they know they won't be promoted. Pay scales and vacation is not equal based on locale. Many individuals are working overtime without compensation. Much of the direction comes directly from Germany instead of letting each region run independently.
