Pros

People from all over the world, truly a global company. Innovative, quality products. Good benefits and decent pay. Opportunities to learn and grow as a person.

Cons

Centralized structure can make team collaboration difficult. Favoritism and politics can alienate employees. Work and personal life balance should be valued more.

Pros

Very stable global player with high attention to innovation and long term growth. Private company with a longer term view. Ample opportunities for foreign assignments.

Cons

Compensation strategy is not high end salaries. In the last decade Bosch has migrated from an internationally minded company back to a German company -- divisional leadership boards all in Germany. Very high degree of control from Germany right down to the very details of every day work processes.
