Pros
Great team, good work/life balance, solid benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career development if you take the initiative.
Cons
In my opinion Bosch's long term vision and strategy for power tools has been lacking in recent years, but does seem to be getting back on track. A fair amount of bureaucracy to navigate, which limits our ability to innovate in some areas, but I suppose that's to be expected in an organization of this size.

Pros
They pay and frequent overtime
Cons
Warehouse is extremely micromanaged. Its a write up for just about anything. Leads will tell you to do something then turn around and tell upper management that they never said that. Sometimes you will work two weeks straight with no day off if the backlog is "too high"

Pros
Big drive to feel like being a part of the "family," even though Bosch is huge. Competitive salaries in higher-producing areas. Well-respected in Europe
Cons
Europeans govern & control seemingly all business aspects in all departments. Unqualified managers from Europe, some with only high school diplomas, are sent to the USA to run departments . Culture clashes, resentment, and toxicity abound. Occasionally racist remarks are heard both in English and German from these imported managers. American HR can't do anything about problematic European staff. The IT group is worldwide, sunrise to sunrise, and promises more than it can deliver. BOSCH CI & PTNA overspend funds on Europeans in various training programs in the USA, or pays for what amounts to a vacation of Euro staff who come to the USA for frivolous meetings. Redundancy of roles abound, especially as the European staff is constantly out-of-office due to state-mandated or personal holidays, and usually coverage for European roles is replicated in the USA or Brazil. Corporate wastes abound - instead of constant "professional development trainings," associates should be better-compensated, as overtime is not allowed and many American staff work overtime to fill coverage gaps by Euro associates. The Bosch brand may be dying in the USA, as most of the Automotive operations in Illinois are being steadily phased-out.
