Pros

- great company - you can talk to anyone, flat hierarchies, everyone (across teams and countries) helps each other - I want to highlight that this job was in Japan. Due to the general openness of everyone, I know several foreigners that say they will either work at Bosch or nowhere in Japan (flat hierarchies, being able to say your opinion and shape your own job, not that much racism) - managers very open to you learning new things, getting job responsibilities that you are interested in, also easy to move teams

Cons

- the work load is highly dependent on your client or team. If you should have a good one, it's great. Not naming names, but if it is one specific one, it would not be uncommon to have 40-60 overtime hours a month as a regular employee, 100 as a manager. - I believe the salary might be a bit lower than if you were working elsewhere (however, genuinely, did not mind as the working conditions were great and the people awesome) - If you are a woman: there seriously are not that many on the technical side (so much so that the factories partially do not have toilets for women. You have to find a park nearby.), though management seems to have made a conscious decision to hire more in 2023

Pros

Work-life balance is great and getting an internship extended is very common.

Cons

Not on the cutting edge of tech at all and they seem to move slowly much like the rest of the auto industry.
