Pros

Bosch allows you and trusts you to make your own decisions and supports your decisions. We have a lot of freedom--nobody is looking over your shoulder. They have advancement opportunities and reward you for job well done. We work as teams and they encourage a team environment. Benefits are good.

Cons

Being a large worldwide company, there is a lot of red tape in working with other Bosch locations in the US and worldwide. Lots of arguing between Bosch plants on who should do what and who should pay for what and also, it is sometimes hard to find who the person is that you need to talk to.

Pros

Private Company, Still Family Supportive. As company grows, so does potential. German conservative thinking is strong on quality, appreciative of the American work ethic, and a genuinely great culture to work for. Great opportunity to get exposure in many areas with many different people.

Cons

As company grows, so does the the need for rules and procedures..... Liability is a bear. Management in different departments has formed as a result of cliques. Competence is there, but Management Skills are not possessed. American business habits can create a disconnect from the German virtues of quality, pride, and performance. The American worker needs to take time to understand the German culture a little.
