Pros

I read through most of the other Robert Bosch reviews and was shocked to learn how accurate they are! I have worked for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. I don't believe any other automotive company can offer more job security. I have never experienced any type of fear of loosing my job. A lot can be said for that in todays economy. Good work/life balance with telecommuting from home.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities are very limited for those that are not fluent in German. I hate to say that, but it really is true.
