Pros

The air conditioner in the office worked just fine.

Cons

Bosch has a disturbing fetish for "controls and procedures" that give upper management a false sense of security. In my opinion, these controls and procedures are either A.) Extreme overkill and, B.) Widely ignored and subverted, whenever possible. Bosch's internal controls are comparable to a Kafkaesque miasma of confusing and time consuming folly. I would not recommend anyone going to work there unless, of course, they enjoy being confused and constantly getting mixed signals from the company.

Pros

They take care of their employees - lots of education, opportunity, and learnings. Sometimes to a fault (eg, a lot of is forced on you) - but they really do want to keep employees for decades and invest in them. Also, there are very few limitations on moving. I watched people move from Automotive to Healthcare to Energy Projects. There's a lot of mobility (mostly sideways, but still interesting)

Cons

If you are not German - and I hate to say it, but, it's true - and Male, it's hard to get ahead. For all the lip service to diversity and equality, it was very clear there were two classes of workers - the folks that came over from Germany or were German nationals, and the rest of us. Getting a woman into a leadership position was almost impossible.
