Pay scale, hikes and management are very poor. Incentives are as good as negligible.

Pros

Under the big umbrella of Harman

Cons

Payscales and hikes are laughable. Managers are themselves not technically sound. Random projects are assigned to you irrespective of your technical skills. Even the variable amount which would be promised is broken up into so many hidden components that u get peanuts at the end..!
