Robert Bosch reviews

Regarding cons its not entirely organisation specific and more related to department as everything ultimately boils to the department that one joins and in RBEI as with many of the organizations everything is controlled by the department heads unless of course you are a VP or the CEO.One sincere and genuine piece of advice please refrain from joining ETC ie Engineering Tools department of RBEI it is the worst out there run or headed by a bunch of morons who absolutely don’t have any clue as to what they are doing. List of cons as below: 1)This department markets software products and solutions which are non-existent to prospective client. Now if they can convince some client by their bluff and win the project you would be tasked to execute and deliver the project in unrealistic timelines. Now think of a situation where you are tasked with something where the person assigning you the task literally doesn’t have a clue as to what is it that needs to delivered and you have to deliver a production grade product or solution in 3 months time, add to this regular status updates and micro management. 2)Full of bureaucracy, nepotism management is filled with incompetent morons who are in organization for very long and know nothing except bootlicking, micromanaging, doing dirty politics, playing pressure tactics on reportees. 3)One of the weirdest policies ever seen in software industry bond for attending trainings. First of all they will ask you to attend trainings required for project and then ask you to sign a bond saying you have to pay back if you leave organization in 2years. 4)Also there are bunch of illiterates who are designated as some Technical experts ,Senior Architects etc arrogant to the core,wont listen to anyone and speak technical gibberish .The irritating part is management who themselves are dumb will listen to these guys and ask you to implement the nonsense spitted out by the so called experts. If I have to sum it up in one sentence your career is doomed if you join this place, never ever join this place. This department has very high attrition and so if you see RBEI recruiting chances are it would be for this department so please enquire for which department the drive is happening and if you hear the word ETC or Engineering tools run .

Where do I even begin with Bosch. From start to finish I should have seen the red flags and started running, the customer support team has no clue what they’re doing. My training was all over the place and my direct manager had zero presence. Her manager was running the departments with team leads that were so unprofessional it completely blew my mind. We had one TL dropping inappropriate jokes about her sexual orientation, one TL who didn’t know how to keep her cool and another who decided it was a good idea to talk about me in Spanish to my peer directly behind me. I’ve had so many incidents where she was being so rude I finally decided to go to my manager and she told HR about it and apparently that is were I went wrong, then shockingly a few weeks later before my 90 days were up I was let go because their reason was I wasn’t progressing as fast as they wanted and they didn’t have the power to train me but there was zero talk of me under performing at my first one on one that was 2 weeks prior...I never missed a single day of work, was encouraged to ask questions but when I did management would treat me as if I was bothering them. I wish I could say I’m kidding. And I’m not the first case of this happening, getting let go after speaking out against management but the other person, they were smart and actually filed a lawsuit against Bosch and won. Unless you have a close relationship with management, you have no job security. No one should ever go through this, they don’t even pay you enough to deal with that kind of stress.
