Don't join JMP!
Pros
The new office in Budapest is nice, but it lacks a personal touch. Too big, feels like a modern way of keeping slaves.Cons
You go through 6 rounds of interviews, including a personality test, which takes a long time. HR promises you everything, and reality settles in shortly after you join. They lie about the contract, fail to mention important details and deny to address them once you sign. The whole concept of JMP in Hungary is flawed. HR hires for positions where receiving departments have no headcount but would like some. It's a mentor roulette - HR sells the whole program as a great opportunity, with you taking the lead on setting up your stage plan (4x6 months rotation plan) with the help of your mentor - only for this to turn out to be false. My rotation plan was already set in stone, and my so-called "mentor" was not interested in my needs or opinion, only their own. If you get a mentor who sucks, you're stuck with them for 4 years. They will try to intimidate and blackmail you into staying, and if you decide to speak up honestly, they will fire you - just like it happened to me. Currently, about 80% of JMPs leave Bosch after the program ends. Senior management does not care about JMP as they are too occupied with investigating whether employees pay for all items at the restaurant. If you're okay with being a corporate lapdog and keeping your mouth shut, feel free to choose Bosch Hungary.
