Pros

> Company is best, but few people in higher positions are making it to rot. (specific to certain departments)

Cons

> Few departments at BOSCH which are outsourcing to top OEM's will make you work like donkeys even on weekends and extended hours in weekdays because of their improper planning and project dynamics. . They treat the employees as slaves and speak to you in disrespectful manner. . There is no such thing as respect towards employees (both men or women). . Planning and KPI for the project is poorest, . Don't expect leadership skill from the managers, instead you can get Master Slave communication going on. . Everything comes to your table in commanding tone, you can forget about your self-respect and mutual respect. . They will not help you to get certifications completed because the approval goes to them, they want you to finish project work rather than approving the certification.

Pros

-Meaningful products that genuinely impact customers and society. -Exposure to large-scale, multinational complexity and cross-functional collaboration. -Many teams and leaders genuinely care and want to do the right thing. -Flexibility and autonomy can exist depending on leadership and business unit. -Opportunity to drive meaningful change if leadership alignment exists.

Cons

-Significant organizational complexity and matrixed decision-making slows progress and creates ambiguity in accountability. -Teams are expected to deliver transformational outcomes without sufficient infrastructure, resources, or organizational alignment to support success. -Decision-making is reactive versus strategic, making long-term planning difficult. -Inconsistency in leadership quality and management approach across functions can create vastly different employee experiences. -Collaboration across global regions can be challenging due to competing priorities, differing expectations, and unclear ownership. -There is a disconnect between stated people-first values and day-to-day employee experience. -High-performing employees experience a high degree of burnout because of unclear boundaries and role clarity and prioritization is not actively managed.
