Pros

Product development facilities are broad and comprehensive. Product development and product test is supported on site, close to customers. Resources also support from Germany.

Cons

Mix of old and new facilities. All big decisions go through Germany, which can delay responses and keep strategy stable. Priority will be given to German employees: it is a German company.

Business Outlook

Pros

When you work at Bosch you get swept up in the feeling, that you are proud of the companies history and their engineering disciplines. Like most other german engineering companies, you will get a chance to work with very skilled and intelligent engineers.

Cons

The satellite locations are mainly focused on customer support and systems integration work. So if you are looking for core engineering work, you have to be in Germany or India. As for the US, the management is really standard American, so it won't be filled with PhD's, but rather lots of non-technical yes-men.
