Business Outlook

Pros

Leading R&D as a percentage of sales in the industry. Large, stable company with HQs in Germany. Opportunities to grow and diversify due to many different businesses and units. Privately held, so less pressure to adjust during economic downturns.

Cons

With HQ in Germany, many directives and mandates do not work in the United States. Recent structure changes have created a level of uncertainty for associates. Compensation is below market average for similar positions.

Pros

Bosch offers many opportunities in various industries. It is a global company with a presence just about anywhere one might want to work. As a private company, the business leaders make decisions without the influence of investors.

Cons

While there is a strong presence in the U.S. and elsewhere, the headquarters are in Germany and that is where the more interesting engineering work gets done.
