Pros

+++ Great group to work for: long term strategy thinking, sound corporate values, career development possibilities either worldwide or across business units from very different sectors (Automotive, Building&Energy, Industry, Consumer goods) One important differentiation from other large corporation is the set up of the group: private limited company owned by a caritative foundation, thus independent from financial markets and short term pressures.

Cons

--- Bosch is unfortunately no exception to drawbacks of most larger corporations like higher burocracy, slower decision process, and political play at higher management level even if those aspects improved quite a lot in past 10 years (agility and lean management initiative)

Pros

Work-life balance is great and getting an internship extended is very common.

Cons

Not on the cutting edge of tech at all and they seem to move slowly much like the rest of the auto industry.
