Pros

Cool products, smart people in the engineering and marketing levels. Great employee discounts on consumer products. Can be a good place for some career development if you don't stay too long.

Cons

No vision in executive leadership. Harman professes to be a technology leader that wants to attract and retain the best, but it's just lip service. Harman is a technology integrator with a stodgy east coast structure: no employee stock purchase plan, no bonus unless you are very high level, paltry stock grants and onerous vesting schedules. Compensation is based on class system, not merit: all the perks depend on you having "VP" in your title. Harman will implode unless the BoD wakes up and gets a CEO that has a vision for something more than making himself and his buddies wealthy while moving everything to India.
