Balancing benefits & compensation versus leadership and politics - Product Manager Robert Bosch Employee Review

Training is very tribal with minimal documented SOPs or previous coworkers acting as gatekeepers to info (some gladly share and others take out their gripes on the new guy/gal). Department collaboration depends solely on your manager/director/VP and their "philosophy" of info sharing. Some departments do not like each other and will actively try to sabotage each other with no/poor info while others will implement unrealistic timeframes for work to be completed and then repeatedly escalate until resolved. Minimal buy-in from leadership (regional and global) on actually improving business model as nearly obsessed with presenting data and dashboards while maintaining status quo. When extraordinary growth targets provided, regional expertise almost always ignored in favor of historic approaches from Germany or leadership origins (largely Brazil for MA). Ego and arrogance plagues almost entire leadership structure and will be downfall to aggressive business plans
