Pros

I think the pro would be harman international provide great international initiatives and business strategies. It enables the employee to have open-minded mindset in terms how to implement global strategies in world landscape.

Cons

I think the cons would be harman is fast growing in term of business structure and multiple projects, the management can be unorganized and chaotic, also, less attention to employees' belonging towards the organization.

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.
