Two years ago, I had an offer from Bosch Sunnyvale office mostly for AI research. I declined that offer for LinkedIn, but I am thinking to approach them again. However, I am not sure how is the work at the Sunnyvale office is like in terms of -- 1- Work life balance 2- how they treat their employees at the Sunnyvale office. 3- Do they allow work from home. 4- I know the title includes AI researcher but do they any research work or it's just the title. 5- And in general how is life in the office, is it like IBM research or crazy like Amazon?

Why Worshipping Lord Ram Important in Hinduism?
Hard to say for sure. Bosch's divisions are pretty different. In their self-driving group, WLB is pretty bad because most of the core developers are in Germany. That means your day starts at 7 most days if you're in Sunnyvale. WFH depends on your manager, but is usually fine. Maybe you have to come in once in a while. Bosch is a really big company, and it doesn't feel like a tech company. Very traditional HR and IT. Lots of forms and bureaucracy, and things move slowly. Lots of silos. If your project is mostly based in Germany, you will have a hard time having impact from the Sunnyvale office. On the plus side: I do get the genuine feeling that Bosch cares about its employees, both individually and as a whole. That's a rarity in the US. You also get killer discounts on tools and appliances. And because it's not really a tech company, it's been somewhat insulated from all of the layoffs (so far).
