I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HARMAN (Palo Alto, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
First round was a phone screen, the second round was in person. We went over my background, questions were asked about user experience paradigms and different modalities and willingness to work on them.

How would you design an augmented reality user experience for a car?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HARMAN (Bengaluru) in Feb 2021
Interview
Overall was good but not a pleasant experience. The interview was done in 2 phases and very unprofessional HR. After 1st interview there were multiple follow ups that was done and after which they had sent an email with a case study as part of 2nd round interview. Had to decline the offer seeing the unprofessional behaviour and also due to a parallel offer I secured in the mean time. Secound round case study was very vague and was asked to provide a solution within a shorter timeline, post which again there were follow-ups done for 2nd round scheduling. Post 2nd round no communication for 3-4 weeks and after lot of follow ups, finally HR was kind enough to reply that I am not selected. Well, no regrets on the selection part but overall experience was not great and wont recommend my known colleagues to join Harman.
