Pros

Good brand recognition. Good work life balance. Employee discounts / sales. Company with a rich history and heritage with founders such as Sidney Harman and J. B. Lansing.

Cons

Managers guarding their power and not delegating responsibilities. No one's willing to take any risks or innovate. Continous turmoil and org changes (since past 3 years) hinders creativity and innovation. Nor room for growth. Outside people are generally preferred over promotion of internal candidates. Communication from HR is more like a school principal trying to discipline young students.

Pros

Very flexible work schedule. Competent coworkers. Business wins are going well. Cool products to work on. Good discounts on Harman products.

Cons

Poor training of new technology when it is rolled out to new projects. Very focused on growth in low cost countries, instead of US growth.

Pros

Fun projects and products to work on. Pay is competitive. Freedom to work on a variety of products / projects. Easy to shine as a top performer.

Cons

Incompetent employees and managers are everywhere. Management cannot recognize or fix known broken systems or processes. Low performing employees can flourish at Harman.
