Pros

Salary is still pretty OK

Cons

HR lied during the job interview basically. Told them I don't want to work in a workplace where it's common to force poeple to do overtime or weekend work, where there is a toxin customer-and internal environment-, and where people are considered as tools and not individual humans ,with rights to have a life besides their job. They ensured me with big smiles that none of the above is part of the company culture. Yet from my first workday basically, it is the case. Overstressed and overloaded teams, and the managment does not care. But they expect you to deliver all projects and fulfill all irrealistic deadlines for customers. Internal colleagues and project team managers are also the embodyments of toxic people at the workplace, constantly "escalating" on other Bosch members just to look powerful and hide their own incompetencies. Will not stay here for long
